    OES Experience

    I ordered my tarp from OES about 6 days ago and it arrived in just 4 days! I know they might have a bad rep for taking to long to ship but I had no issue with my order. I ordered one of their tarps that where discounted because of cosmetic blemishes. I was going to order the grey 10x10 rectangular cat cut tarp but then I saw it was available in the multiple colored green and grey and I must say it looks pretty cool. It is split right down the ridgeline and I must say if you don't mind your tarp not being one color and saving $10 this tarp is the way to go!

    Good to hear about OES. Everyone knows they make a great tarp, and hopefully more reviews like this will make them more of an option.

    I agree and hope you're right. I ordered my first custom rain fly from Brian some years ago and received personalized, first-rate, quick service right before a big hike. My own experience was nothing but positive.

    I can echo this sentiment. I ordered a "sort of custom" tarp about 4 years ago while Brian was still doing it on the side. I mentioned in my email that I was hoping to have it for a trip in 2 weeks and I would pay extra for expedited shipping. Although I never received a confirmation email/call... My tarp showed up in time for my trip (at no extra charge) and I was very happy.

    Still rocking the Macat ultra to this day, and loving it.
