Hi everyone!
I'm looking to get my hands on a tarp for the first time. I've done a bit of research online and what baffles me is the price range.
Tarps can come as cheap as 15 or 20€ on Amazon up to the 250€ for the Warbonnet cuban fiber tarp.
I can easily see that between a 15€ tarp on Amazon and the Warbonnet mentionned above, there's a world of difference in terms of quality. I'm probably interested in neither one of these extremes.
When looking for "middle of the range" products, I still come up with a big gap. For example, let's look at
- The DD 3x3 tarp ------------------- 52€ ; 790 gr
- The Dutchware Tadpole tarp ------ 95$ ; 360 gr
- The Warbonnet Superfly tarp ----- 140$ ; 540 gr
From what I'm reading on the internet, DD is a good brand and their tarp is a good product. Same goes for the two other models cited above. But then what's the discriminating factor that justifies such a stress in the price range? Is there really a big difference in quality? If so, what does that mean? Are we talking tear-resistance or water-resistence or overal weight or...?
Thanks for your insight
