I own a 9, and like it for ease of setup, and no poles underneath. It is not so good in strong wind and rain, because the "aerodynamic" shape allows rain to swoop under the edges, unlike what happens in a conventional rectangular tarp. Even if you anchor the windward corner close to the ground, because the tarp is set _corner_ to the wind/rain instead of _edge_ to the wind/rain, you get less protection than with a same-size rectangular beast. But, as a sun shelter, and for light rain, it is great. Also like the light grey color, because it transmits a lot of light. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
