Which tarp should I choose for my Draumr hammock?

A good tarp protects you and your gear from rain, wind, snow, and sun. Our Skjold tarps are designed for Draumr hammocks, but work just as well for regular hammocks or if you prefer to sleep directly on the ground. What makes Skjold work so well with Draumr is its asymmetrical shape and the fact that the tarp is longer at the foot end, thus covering Draumr with its unique construction. Skjold comes in two sizes, Skjold 10 is approximately 10 square meters, while Skjold 13 is 3 square meters larger.

• Our Skjold tarps come with their own packing bag, 6 pegs, and two carabiners. Guylines and guyline holders are permanently attached to the tarp.
  
• The color-coded carabiners indicate how to hang the tarp in Draumr mode.
  

What should you consider when choosing a tarp?

• Which hammock do you have?
  
  • Both Skjold 10 and Skjold 13 work well with Draumr Double, but if you want a little more space for storing equipment and staying under the tarp next to your bed, Skjold 13 may be the best choice with Draumr Double.
• Is weight and pack size important to you?
  
  • Skjold 10 is lighter and packs smaller than Skjold 13.
    
• Forest and weather conditions
  
  • Skjold 13 is wider than Skjold 10 and therefore requires more distance between the suspension points. The sides of Skjold 13 can be closed inwards, like doors, giving you better protection in rough conditions.
