AMAZONAS Traveler Tarp, 11 × 9 ft review
A hammock tarp that contradicts itself twice on the same page — nylon or polyester, 0.8 kg (1.8 lb) or 650 g (22.9 oz) — while publishing the smallest packed size in this hub.
A tarp cut at 3.40 × 2.80 m (11 × 9 ft) for use over a hammock, packing to 25 × 10 cm (9.8 × 3.9 in), supplied with a small color-matched fabric bag.
Two contradictions on one page
The fabric. The title says ripstop nylon. The description says 100% polyester ripstop (210T), PUR-coated. Those are different materials with different wet behavior — the hub intro sets out exactly that difference — and the listing carries both claims.
The weight. The title says 0.8 kg. The description says the own weight is 650 g. That is 150 g apart, which in a hammock kit already carrying straps and carabiners is not a rounding difference.
This page reports both in both cases rather than choosing between them.
What is published clearly
25 × 10 cm packed. The smallest in this hub, and given as a dimension. 3.40 × 2.80 m of cut, sized for a hammock rather than for a ground pitch. And the maker names which of its own hammock ranges the tarp pairs with.
What is absent
No hydrostatic head behind the words water-repellent. No tie-out count and no reinforcement described. And nothing in the bag but the tarp and its own small stuff sack.
Before ordering
Plan for guylines separately, and read the weight you are budgeting for as the higher of the two figures until the maker says otherwise.
Availability

What it does well, and where it gives way
Strengths
25 × 10 cm (9.8 × 3.9 in) is the smallest packed size in this hub, and it is published as a measurement
Cut at 3.40 × 2.80 m (11 × 9 ft) specifically to cover a hammock, and the maker names the hammock ranges it pairs with
A PUR coating is named in the description, which most listings here leave out entirely
Compromises
The fabric is nylon in the title and polyester in the description, and those behave differently when wet
The weight is 0.8 kg (1.8 lb) in the title and 650 g (22.9 oz) in the description, a 150 g (5.3 oz) gap on the same page
No tie-out count, no reinforcement described, and no lines or pegs in the bag

What people ask before buying
Nylon or polyester — does it matter?
It does, and the hub intro says why: silicone-coated nylon stretches when it gets wet and needs retensioning, while polyester barely moves. A tarp pitched taut over a hammock behaves differently depending on which one it is, and this listing says both on the same page.
Which weight should be planned for?
This page reports both, because both are the maker’s. The title says 0.8 kg (1.8 lb) and the description says 650 g (22.9 oz) as the own weight, and 150 g (5.3 oz) is a real difference in a hammock kit that is already carrying straps. Nothing on the page resolves it.
Does AMAZONAS publish a hydrostatic head?
No. Not published on the listing — the tarp is described as water-repellent, with no millimeter figure. What the listing does publish instead is the fabric and coating: The listing gives two answers — the title says ripstop nylon, the description says 100% polyester ripstop (210T), PUR-coated.
Our score
8.4/ 10
The smallest pack in the hub, cut for a hammock, on a page that cannot agree with itself about what it is made of or what it weighs.
The buyer this one serves, among camping gear
A hammock that needs a roof, where the packed size is the constraint and the contradictions are read first.
Amazon reports what buyers took in the month before this page was last checked: at least 50.
The figure is a floor, rounded by Amazon, and read through Keepa — it says what buyers picked, not what a maker claims.

Camping tarp · 300 × 300 cm (118.1 × 118.1 in) · 150T ripstop polyester, 3000 PU coating · seam-sealed · webbing-reinforced load points · 1 kg (2.2 lb) stated · four ropes and four pegs supplied
A 3 × 3 m (10 × 10 ft) tarp with a coating figure, sealed seams, webbing at every load point and a stated 1 kg (2.2 lb) — and no count for the load points it reinforces.
Best for: A square tarp bought complete, where sealed seams and reinforced load points matter more than pack weight.
Camping tarp · 3 × 3 m (10 × 10 ft) · ripstop polyester, no coating named · 1.94 kg (4.3 lb) stated · 65 × 7 × 7 cm (25.6 × 2.8 × 2.8 in) packed · guylines and two poles supplied
A 3 × 3 m (10 × 10 ft) tarp that arrives with its own two poles and a stated 1.94 kg (4.3 lb) — and names no coating, no denier and no tie-out count at all.
Best for: A pitch on open ground — a beach, a pitch beside a vehicle — where poles matter more than pack weight.
