Hi everyone,

So I'm thinking about getting a Hanger 11 tarp from UGQ (Silnylon, 130$, would need to buy ridgeline and stakes) for my first set. Today I was at the outdoor store and there I can get a slightly larger (but not too big) polyester tarp for 75$, all lines and stakes included. Obviously UGQ is still in business, so there has to be some good reason why people buy this kind of expensive tarp. Is it only the weight (1.5kg all incl. vs 0.37kg + stakes and ridgeline), or are there other reasons as well?
Do you have any other recommendations for a first timer on a budget?

Thanks for the advice,
bw, Tobias
