StormBacker UL Lietusmētelis Mugursomai

Now used this in the rain and wind, both as a poncho and Tarp over my Bivy, during a 4 day hike. I'm 5'7" tall and the long poncho doesn't drag on the floor. Very waterproof and vents well depending on how you wear it. Very versatile. I have added shock cord to the corners to help setting up as a tarp, to allow a bit of give in the wind.

Good luck finding a better value or more adaptable tarp

Easy ordering, updated & prompt delivery, good packaging.
Set-up videos online helpful to create single + double shelter (using 2).
Found by searching for 'privacy' shelter. Absolutely Love the simplicity of design for multi-purpose uses. It is light weight and packs small in own stuffsack.
Cape is ground length for 5'5" person so take care if hiking in the rain/drizzle.
(Don't forget your hiking poles! :)

Only used it twice so far. I'm using it primarily for Bikepacking so bulk is a major concern and it takes up similar space to my UL tent but considerably more comfortable and once you add in all the peripherals needed for both setups the Hammock ends up slightly lighter and more compact. Hammock itself is well made the buckle system is easier to use than the whoopie slings I have used in the past even if they take up a slight bit more room and weight. The double layer is perfect for sliding an air mattress as that is my preference vs a underquilt as it makes going to ground more manageable when that horror happens.

Super lightweight no frills hammock. Very comfortable, well made and good quality materials. Highly recommended.

Everything I was looking for and great customer service!

I have some experience with bridge hammocks, so I was curious to see how the Crystal would compare. Delivery from China was fast, arriving within 11 calendar days, and the packaging was perfectly fine. For many customers who are not yet familiar with hammocks—and specifically bridge hammocks—a few setup instructions or a link to a corresponding video would certainly be helpful. There was one minor flaw with my unit: a loop on one of the zippers was slightly bent open, causing the pull tab to fall off. I bent the loop back with pliers and threaded a small cord through it, so it wasn't a significant issue.

Regarding the comfort: bridge hammocks should have a suspension angle of 20–25°, and that is how I set up the Crystal. In my opinion, it is extremely comfortable, and I was able to fall asleep in it right away, even on my side. The bug net provides a nice, large distance from the face and body, and it doesn't get in the way even when sitting in the hammock. The almost completely transparent fabric feels stretchy to me, which I find very pleasant.

The included suspension consists of two 1.50m tree straps and whoopie slings with a hook at the end, which clips into the loops of the UHMWPE cords at the head and foot ends of the hammock. This is likely great given the right tree circumferences and distances, but for larger trees, the straps are not long enough. Conversely, for young trees with a small circumference, the non-adjustable straps can quickly be too long. Due to their design, the (very well-made) whoopie slings require a minimum distance from the tree because of their 'bury' or braking distance. If you set up the Crystal with this suspension between two relatively young trees, you need quite a large gap between them. Overall, the suspension works well and is lightweight, but it seems a bit inflexible to me. Therefore, I will use the hammock with my existing lightweight daisy-chain straps (3.65m long); while they are not infinitely adjustable, they offer great flexibility regarding tree distances and are very easy to use.

The Crystal has convinced me, and I will certainly use it frequently alongside my other bridge hammocks. In any case, in addition to its comfort, it is the clear winner in terms of value for money. I would simply recommend that Onewind include operating instructions and perhaps consider a different suspension option.

I often use rain ponchos for hiking. This poncho is versatile and can be used as a tarp. Just note the length is 260cm oppose to the 270cm as advertised. But otherwise a practical piece of kit.

Awesome tarp,its my go to tarp for my various hammocks I use ...

Good little loops , do what they was made to do 😎

Great little sack for my boots , this is the 2nd one I've bought for my Mrs to use..

Compact, lightweight package but ample room for solo overnighter. Easy and quick to set up. Quality materials and workmanship. I am super happy with yet another great Onewind purchase!

Really great tarp! Lightweight and small to carry. Good quality and wellmade seams. I like that you can make it hexagonal and close the sides for variation. The sidestraps make it easy to use the tarp on uneven ground. I had some trouble with the loopaliens. I didn't think there was enough instructionson how to use them. I tied the tarp with som knots instead and I going to be using my good old faithful camjams instead! All in all: great versatile tarp that I really recommend!

Only tried It ones when It was around -1° celcius. It was totally fine, was varm and toasty all night long. Next on my list from Onewind wil be the Tempest 11"foot hammock, so I can replace my old one from eno😉.
