The DD 3x3 is decent. Can be found for between £35-£40 new.

But would you spend the extra on the DD Pro or just go with the normal DD?

You're paying £16 more for an extra two loops, eyelets and press studs.

Personally I'd go with the normal 3x3

If you’re new to Bushcraft I would look at a British Army issue Basha. Although smaller and heavier than a DD tarp they are very robust and cheap to buy. DD tarps are well made but they are quite fragile if you’re rough with your gear.

DD 3x3- my last one lasted me a decade before it gave up on my after being left up in some severe weather conditions covering a firewood pile.

Can be had online for around £35

I have a couple of DD tarps I've been pleased with.

Another vote for the DD standard mine has served me well for a number of years.

Go for the DD superlight if you can afford the extra, you won't regret it. It's a lighter, more compact and better quality ripstop fabric.
