About This Product
The airbag tarp swaps vinyl sides for nylon parachute fabric, which is why the trade also calls it a parachute tarp. Nylon has give, so where a vinyl side would snag on a load corner and split, the nylon stretches and slides off it. The top panel stays 14oz vinyl, because that surface needs to be waterproof and take abrasion.
At 71 lbs it is the lightest tarp in our lineup, and if weight were the only thing that mattered the decision would be easy.
Weight is not the only thing that matters, so here is the honest tradeoff. Nylon cannot be glued. If a side tears, you sew it, which means a shop or a needle and an evening, not a patch and twenty minutes at a truck stop. The RipStop weighs 76 lbs, five pounds more, and any tear anywhere on it fixes with a patch and a tube of HH-66 cement.
Buy this one if snagging is your problem and you have somewhere to sew. Buy the RipStop if you would rather repair it yourself on the road, the same evening it happens.
Technical Details
Key Features
Best For
The nylon side panels cannot be repaired with vinyl cement. Glue will not bond to nylon fabric, so a torn side has to be stitched. Carry a repair kit that covers both materials, or plan on a shop visit. The vinyl top panel patches normally with HH-66 cement.

“Got 2 4ft tarps and 2 8ft tarps for my husband’s birthday since he drives a flatbed. It’s been a while now, and he’s been using them non-stop—says they’re the best tarps he’s ever had. They seriously withstand everything! Super tough and still look like new.”
