Well designed and well made, thats how I'd describe it. I really like the velcro pockets that stow away each guyline. They keep them from getting tangled which is great when setting up in a rain. The "rock buster" stakes are beefy and hold in high winds and all stress points are bar tacked.

I work with juvenile delinquents and take them backpacking and have had 14 people under it. I'm 6'3" and can stand under it. It is heavy but the name ought to give that away. Lots of setup configurations are possible and it works great as a front porch for a tent. It's also worked great on gravel/sand bars as a sun shade. I've been around several other tarps and none compare.
