Overview

Designed by outdoor enthusiasts, the Galapagos XL Rainfly is the ultimate weather stopping tarp. As much as we plan, mother nature has a way to surprise us with unexpected weather. Because of this, we’ve made a tarp that can be used in any condition - that’s right, you can use it to shield the sun on a hot summer’s day, stop springtime downpours, or fight off a winter snowfall. Crafted to be ultralight and compact, bring it for both hammock and tent camping or use at home to cover a kids play area or tree house. The possibilities are endless!

Construction

The Galapagos has been carefully thought out. We wanted to create a tarp that was designed for hammock camping, but could be used for so much more. We knew that to fully enjoy the FE Active Trestles Hammock you needed a way to stay dry during unfavorable conditions. We solved this by creating a rainfly made of 380T ripstop nylon fabric and then coating it with 5000mm PU (waterproofing), making it our most waterproof product to date.

Reinforced edges and corners help protect the rainfly from ripping in windy conditions. Six grommets are found along the edges, allowing you to install this tarp in a variety of ways. Rope and aluminum pegs are included to provide everything you need right out of the box - or the bag in this case.

Dimensions

Built with ultralight campers and travelers in mind, the Galapagos is made to be as compact and portable as possible, while still providing ample space during use. Although this tarp was designed for hammock camping, the dimensions are suitable to cover tents of 4 people or less.

Open Size: 11.9 x 9 feet

Packed Size: 9.4 x 7 inches 

Weight: 1.65 lbs (0.75 kg)

Features

The Galapagos XL Rainfly is loaded with features every traveler will love. Whether you’re drawn to the 11.9 x 9 foot dimensions or the fact it boasts an impressive 5000mm of waterproof protection, you’ll be fully prepared to handle any weather on your next outdoor adventure. 

Its compact design is most noticeable when compared to traditional tarps. At a fraction of the size, the space savings alone are worth bringing it on every excursion. 

You’ll love that everything you need is included in this package. Inside you’ll find the tarp, 5 ropes (one 6 ft center tree line and four 9.8 foot guy lines), and 4 aluminum pegs to anchor the structure to the ground.
