 Solid Rain FlySep 20, 2011
By jofrosty
As luck would have it, the first time I used this rainfly it rained the entire weekend. I was using it with the eno 2 person hammock (only me sleeping in it) and the mesh bug netting in the woods of New Hampshire. It kept me mostly dry, the very ends of the hammock ended up getting a bit wet, mainly just from water running down the slap straps, but I slept comfortably both nights. The second night was a driving rain, I raised the hammock up a notch so it was right under the rainfly, it is a fairly effective barrier even in heavy stuff. I have a couple of complaints, but I will use the set up again for sure. One thing to note is that, when you consider the hammock, the mesh bug screen, the rain fly and the tent spikes (not included), you are starting to get a pile of equipment larger than many small 1 person backpacking tents and definitely larger than a bivy sack. This pile of equipment also starts to pile up in cost.
Setting up the hammock with the slap straps takes almost no time at all, and I will always bring the hammock car camping and even on some backpack trips. However, add in the mesh bug netting and the rain fly, which has 6 tie outs on each side and the two middle supports, and your set up and break down time definitely exceeds that of some easy tents. On that note, if you do get this rainfly, be sure to get some guy wire clips so you don't have to tie off the string for each stake.
Overall, it is a solid piece of equipment that will keep you dry if need be. I don't love it because of how expensive it is (it's a fancy tarp!) and my own over overstated dreams of how easy it would be to set up (my fault.) But if you want a decent rain fly, don't care about 5-10 minutes to set it up and have some money burning a hole in your pocket, this ought to do ya.

 Exactly what I was looking forJun 26, 2011
By AZgearfreak
I used to bring a tarp to the river to make shade. But it was heavy and doesn't fit inside the backpack very well. (at all)
Came across eno in a gear review. It is a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. This thing is compact and strong, and does what I want it to.
