AMAZONAS Traveller Tarp, 3.40 × 2.80 m review

A hammock tarp that contradicts itself twice on the same page — nylon or polyester, 0.8 kg or 650 g — while publishing the smallest packed size in this hub.

The bottom line 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.

What this listing puts on record

A tarp cut at 3.40 × 2.80 m for use over a hammock, packing to 25 × 10 cm, supplied with a small colour-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 behaviour — 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.

What it does well, and where it gives way

Strengths

  • 25 × 10 cm is the smallest packed size in this hub, and it is published as a measurement
  • Cut at 3.40 × 2.80 m 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 in the title and 650 g in the description, a 150 g 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 and the description says 650 g as the own weight, and 150 g is a real difference in a hammock kit that is already carrying straps. Nothing on the page resolves it.
