MSR ZING

Rating:****

Owned for one month and has proven very useful. Unbelievably light, doesn't seem like it will handle much but it does. It recently saved us on an ill fated canoe trip with several inches of rain. Definitely made the trip bearable that would have been otherwise miserable. Easy setup by one person in less than five minutes. Large wind resistant design. Couldn't give it five stars because of the lack of factory taped seams. Didn't realize this when I bought it, Seriously MSR... 350$ for a tarp, it is unacceptable to not have taped seams! I should actually downgraded it more for this reason but everything else was that good.
