"When unpacked, the Stasha measures a full 1.6m x 23.45m and is strong and versatile with reinforced corners"

I'm gonna assume that little typo should read 1.6m x 2.45m John.

If not a typo, then for that weight and pack size I am definitely buying one

Typo!
Missed by me, my typist (wife), Snugpak ... but not by you!

The Highlander basha would be an alternative worth considering as well in approximately the same size/weight bracket as this snugpak offering. I sought one out as a more compact and lightweight alternative to the issue basha, and to date i've been very impressed by it. It does have the added advantage (to some) of a number of central tie off points.

I'm following Snugpaks recent 'diversification' of their product line with interest - they have some really well thought out kit.

Sea to summit nylon poncho is in that size/price/weight range too, if you want a multi use item.

Hi John,

Thanks for the review, any further thoughts on the Snugpak Stasha 18 months on?

I'm looking for a lightweight "solo" tarp and this (currently £32 inc delivery at Heinnie H) looks like a good, cost effective alternative to the DD, Alpkit etc. offerings and those mentioned by others above.

No - no further comments to make
The Stasha is still in good condition and now is stashed in one of my regular haunts ready for use when I go up there

Thanks John!
