As usual with Helikon, a solid product. The tarp is appropriately large, lightweight, well-made, and equipped with numerous attachment points, plus the color looks great. I really recommend it. It's worth getting Helikon stakes and Atwood Rope cords to go with it, then the set will be complete.
A smaller, compact edition of the versatile Supertarp camping tarp. This tarp enables the quick and easy creation of a field shelter.
The strategic placement of the 19 attachment points offers various setup options, making the tarp adaptable for diverse terrains and conditions. Made from polyurethane (PU) coated polyester knit fabric with Rip-Stop mesh, it is lightweight, and the taped seams and reinforced attachment points ensure enhanced durability.
The tarp comes with a carrying case, simplifying storage and transport.

Camouflage Woodland
Woodland, also referred to as U.S. Woodland or M81, is a traditional camouflage design that was introduced to the US Armed Forces in the early 1980s, deriving from the earlier ERDL camouflage. For more than twenty years, it served as the primary pattern used by the US military until the late 2000s. Distinctive for its large, irregular patches in shades of green, brown, beige, and black, it offers excellent camouflage and distortion features, particularly in forested environments. Its effectiveness and global renown have led to the creation of numerous variations that have been adopted by over 60 military forces worldwide. Furthermore, the pattern has significantly influenced popular culture, transitioning from military uses to everyday fashion.

The tarp makes a very good impression. When packed, it’s smaller than the US poncho, and when unfolded it offers a larger covered area compared to that poncho. Most seams are taped. I strongly recommend it.
-
I chose the tarp mainly due to its compact size, the manufacturer's reputation, and the promotion. Helikon rarely disappoints. If you care about a larger surface, this model will be a great solution. For now, I assess the material and workmanship very positively.
-
The order was processed very quickly. The product has a very good quality-to-price ratio. It is worth buying and may prove useful even during a stay at the beach. It is an extremely functional item with many uses.
-
This is an interesting option instead of a large supertarp – it’s light and compact, so it doesn’t get in the way in a small backpack. It’s perfect for short stops during a walk, to shield yourself from the wind. The quality of workmanship is at a high level – I recommend it.
-
The tarp is small, so when folded, it has a small volume and doesn't take up much space. Numerous loops allow it to be attached in many ways. I haven't tested its resistance to damage yet.
-
When choosing a tarp, I mostly cared about good quality and light weight, which is why I decided on Helikon. Indeed, the seams are well reinforced, the material is waterproof, and the workmanship is very solid. I chose the smaller version precisely because of its lower weight. I picked the black color simply because I like it. I definitely recommend it.
-
The quality of the tarp is very good, the colors are durable and do not lose their intensity. However, it should be remembered that the set includes only the tarp, without a cord or stakes.
-
The size of the tarp allows one person with all their gear to fit under it easily. The large number of mounting points makes it possible to set up the tarp in different configurations.
-
Solid workmanship and excellent finish. It works great during fishing trips, and at night it provides a lot of comfort.
-
I definitely recommend this tarp – the size is perfect for camping under the open sky. Also ideal for tactical operations because it is lightweight, waterproof, and takes up little space when packed. The large number of attachment points and the wz.93 camouflage color make it unobtrusive in the forest.
