DD Hammock’s DD Superlight Tarp Tent allows you to increase your lightweight camping options. It’s simple to pitch, easy to pack and ultra-light to carry.

DD Hammocks says:

The DD SuperLight Tarp Tent is a great solution while traveling light or for minimal backpacking. Frameless and single layered, it’s designed to be as light as possible: simply prop up the foot end with the spreader bar provided, and the top end with either 1 or 2 hiking poles. The best part? The whole thing weighs only 710g (excluding pegs/guys) and packs into a single bag!

Our Verdict

DD Hammock’s DD Superlight Tarp Tent is spacious enough for a solo camper plus a rucksack and gives you shelter and protection from insects when you need it most. With a 3,000mm PU coating and a sheltered side door, it’ll keep you dry in stormy weather while its 3 air vents prevent condensation inside.

It’s important to note you will need to use trekking poles to set this tent up.
