Wise Owl Outfitters Hammock Rain Fly is an ultralight, 11 ft x 9 ft waterproof tarp kit that provides dependable rain and sun shelter for hammock campers and backpackers.

This compact shelter solution pairs ripstop nylon, PU coating and taped seams to keep you dry and shaded on trail or at camp.

At 26 oz it balances coverage and weight, making it a practical addition to weekend packs, car camping setups, and emergency kits.

How does this tarp protect my hammock during a storm?

The rain fly creates a broad overhead barrier that sheds wind-driven rain and blocks sun. Reinforced seam tape and a 3000 mm PU coating resist heavy showers while the ripstop fabric limits progressive tearing if snagged. Properly tensioned, the tarp diverts runoff away from suspension points so you stay drier.

• 11 ft x 9 ft coverage protects hammock and small gear from rain
• PU-coated ripstop nylon rated to 3000 mm water column
• Leakproof taped seams and reinforced stitching
• Secure anchoring with included guy lines and aluminum stakes

What accessories are included and how do they simplify setup?

This kit arrives ready to deploy: six 10-foot guy lines, aluminum stakes, a small stake pouch and a waterproof carry bag are all included. The pre-measured lines and durable stakes make it easier to pitch a reliable rainfly whether you rig it hammock-style or as a freestanding tarp shelter. Everything stows compactly so you won’t add bulk to your pack.

• Six 10-foot guy lines for versatile anchor points

How well does it perform for backpacking and ultralight trips?

Weighing about 26 ounces, this tarp is built to be small and light without sacrificing useful coverage. It compresses into the included stuff sack so it fits in most packs or clips to an external loop for quick access.

Can I use this tarp in other ways besides a hammock rain fly?

• Convertable into an awning, ground tarp, or emergency bivvy
