BERGER Ultralight Tarp with two poles review
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.
A 3 × 3 m (10 × 10 ft) ripstop polyester tarp with a stated weight of 1.94 kg (4.3 lb) and a stated packed size of 65 × 7 × 7 cm (25.6 × 2.8 × 2.8 in), supplied with guylines and two poles.
Poles in the box
That is what this listing is for. The hub intro notes that many tarps expect you to pitch them on trekking poles; this one includes two of its own, and the 65 × 7 × 7 cm (25.6 × 2.8 × 2.8 in) packed size is what those poles do to the parcel. It rolls long, not small.
The stated weight
1.94 kg. Published, which is more than half this hub manages — but unlabelled, and there are two poles and a set of guylines in the same bag. The hub’s buying note is exactly about this: a tarp listed at its bare canopy weight is not being weighed the same way as one listed complete.
What the listing keeps quiet about
No coating, no hydrostatic head. The fabric is named as ripstop polyester and stops there. No denier.No tie-out count and no reinforcement, which the hub treats as the heart of what a tarp is.
Before ordering
Read this as a sun and wind canopy first. The maker describes it that way — sun, wind, a pitch beside a vehicle — and publishes nothing about rain beyond the fabric name.
Availability
The American Amazon store returned nothing, so the buy link opens a local search rather than a page that is not there.
Every figure here is what Keepa held on the day this page was last revised. Offers and prices shift without warning.
What it does well, and where it gives way
Strengths
Two poles are supplied, so the tarp can be stood up on open ground rather than needing trees
Publishes both a weight and a packed size, at 1.94 kg (4.3 lb) and 65 × 7 × 7 cm (25.6 × 2.8 × 2.8 in)
The fabric is named as ripstop polyester, which is a weave and a material rather than a marketing word
Compromises
No coating named and no hydrostatic head figure, so its rain performance is unquantified
No tie-out count and no reinforcement stated, which the hub treats as the specification of a tarp
The 1.94 kg (4.3 lb) carries no label, on a pack that contains two poles

What people ask before buying
What do the two supplied poles change?
They let the tarp stand without trees or trekking poles. The hub intro notes that several tarps are designed to be pitched on trekking poles rather than with poles of their own; this one supplies its own, which is why its packed length is 65 cm (25.6 in) rather than something that rolls small.
Is ripstop polyester enough to go on?
It names the weave and the fiber, which tells you it should not stretch much when wet the way silicone-coated nylon does. What it does not tell you is the coating or the hydrostatic head, and without either there is no waterproof figure on this page.
Does BERGER publish a hydrostatic head?
No. Not published on the listing. What the listing does publish instead is the weight: 1.94 kg (4.3 lb) — stated; the listing does not say whether the figure includes the two poles and the guylines.
Our score
7.8/ 10
The tarp that brings its own poles and its own 65 cm (25.6 in) packed length, and publishes not one number about keeping rain off.
The buyer this one serves, among camping gear
A pitch on open ground — a beach, a pitch beside a vehicle — where poles matter more than pack weight.

Hammock tarp · 3.40 × 2.80 m (11 × 9 ft) · title says ripstop nylon, description says 210T polyester · 0.8 kg (1.8 lb) in the title, 650 g (22.9 oz) in the text · 25 × 10 cm (9.8 × 3.9 in) packed · bag only
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.
Best for: A hammock that needs a roof, where the packed size is the constraint and the contradictions are read first.
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.
