The standard DD Tarp 3x3 is the most popular for general UK camping. Choose the UV50 Plus if you camp in hot climates, travel to tropical regions, or want UV protection during summer camping and beach trips.

DD Tarp 3x3 UV50 Plus Protection Blocks 98% of UVA and UVB Rays

The UV50 Plus fabric treatment blocks over 98% of UVA and UVB rays that cause sunburn, skin damage, and long-term health risks from prolonged sun exposure. This protection lets you relax underneath the tarp in hot, sunny climates without worrying about harmful UV radiation reaching you through the fabric.

Standard camping tarps without UV protection allow UV rays to pass through the fabric, particularly when the sun is directly overhead. The UV50 Plus treatment in this tarp provides the same level of sun protection as high-quality sunscreen, making it suitable for extended periods in direct sunlight. This matters most in tropical regions, high altitude locations where UV intensity increases, and summer camping where you spend hours under the tarp during the hottest parts of the day.

DD Tarp 3x3 UV50 Plus for Summer Camping and Hot Climate Travel

The UV50 Plus tarp suits summer camping in UK when you want shade from intense sun during heatwaves or extended sunny periods. The UV protection prevents the tarp from degrading as quickly under constant sun exposure compared to standard tarps, extending the tarp's lifespan when used regularly in sunny conditions.

For tropical hammock camping trips, the UV50 Plus provides essential sun protection during the day while maintaining waterproof performance for tropical rainstorms. The tarp works well as a beachside shelter between swims, protecting you from sun exposure while you rest. The UV protection also makes this tarp suitable as a garden awning or vehicle shelter in sunny climates where standard tarps degrade quickly from UV exposure.

DD Tarp 3x3 UV50 Plus Bancha Green Colour for Hot Climates

The Bancha Green colour is a light green shade that reflects more sunlight than darker colours like Olive Green or Forest Green. This lighter colour helps keep the area underneath the tarp cooler in hot weather by reflecting solar radiation rather than absorbing it. Dark colours absorb heat and make the sheltered area warmer, which works against you in hot climates.

The Bancha Green shade blends reasonably well with tropical vegetation and summer foliage while providing the heat-reflecting benefits of a lighter colour. This colour only comes on the UV50 Plus version, as it is specifically chosen for hot climate use rather than UK woodland camouflage.

DD Tarp 3x3 UV50 Plus Waterproof for Rain and Sun Protection

The UV50 Plus tarp maintains the same 3000mm waterproof PU coating and taped seams as other DD tarps, providing full waterproof protection alongside the UV blocking treatment. This dual protection makes the tarp suitable for tropical climates where you need shelter from both intense sun and heavy rainstorms.

The UV protective treatment does not compromise the waterproof performance. The tarp handles tropical downpours and prolonged rain as effectively as standard DD tarps while providing the additional benefit of UV protection during sunny periods. This makes the UV50 Plus particularly useful for tropical travel where weather alternates between intense sun and heavy rain throughout the day.

  • NOT Included - Ridgeline (sold separately)

When to Choose DD Tarp 3x3 UV50 Plus Over Standard 3x3

Choose the UV50 Plus if you regularly camp in hot climates, travel to tropical regions, or do summer camping where UV protection matters. The UV blocking treatment prevents skin damage during extended periods under the tarp in direct sunlight, making it safer for all-day use as a sun shelter.

The UV50 Plus also suits situations where the tarp will be set up for extended periods in sunny conditions, such as semi-permanent garden shelters or vehicle awnings in hot climates. The UV protection extends the tarp's lifespan by preventing fabric degradation from constant sun exposure, making it more durable than standard tarps in sunny environments.

For UK camping in typical mixed weather conditions, the standard 3x3 provides adequate performance at lower cost with more colour options. The UV50 Plus justifies its higher price mainly for hot climate use, tropical travel, or situations where UV protection provides significant health or durability benefits.

DD Tarp 3x3 UV50 Plus Complementary Equipment

Pair this tarp with hammock suspension accessories and hammocks for tropical hammock camping setups. For hot weather camping, lightweight hammock quilts provide comfort without excessive insulation.

DD Tarp 3x3 UV50 Plus Limitations to Consider

The UV50 Plus only comes in Bancha Green colour, limiting your choice if you prefer darker woodland colours or camouflage patterns. The UV protection adds cost compared to the standard 3x3, making it more expensive for a feature you may not need if you mainly camp in typical UK weather with limited sun exposure.

The lighter Bancha Green colour shows dirt more easily than darker colours like Olive Green or Forest Green, requiring more frequent cleaning to maintain appearance. The UV protection is most beneficial in hot climates and tropical regions - for UK camping in typical mixed weather, the standard 3x3 provides adequate performance without the UV treatment premium.

DD Tarp 3x3 UV50 Plus Care and Maintenance

Clean the tarp regularly when used in sunny conditions, as the lighter Bancha Green colour shows dirt more readily than darker colours. Rinse with clean water and allow to dry completely before storing. The UV protective treatment maintains effectiveness over the tarp's lifetime with proper care.

Store the tarp out of direct sunlight when not in use, even though it has UV protection. While the UV50 Plus treatment protects the fabric during use, storing the tarp in a cool, dry place away from sunlight extends its overall lifespan. Inspect the fabric periodically for any signs of UV degradation, though the protective treatment significantly slows this process compared to untreated tarps.

DD Tarp 3x3 UV50 Plus Frequently Asked Questions

What does UV50 Plus protection mean?

UV50 Plus means the fabric blocks over 98% of UVA and UVB rays that cause sunburn and skin damage. This provides the same level of sun protection as high-quality sunscreen, making it safe to spend extended periods under the tarp in direct sunlight.

Do I need UV protection for UK camping?

For typical UK camping in mixed weather, the standard 3x3 provides adequate performance. UV protection becomes valuable during UK summer heatwaves, extended sunny periods, or if you camp at high altitudes where UV intensity increases. The UV50 Plus is most beneficial for tropical travel and hot climate camping.

Does the UV protection affect waterproof performance?

No, the UV50 Plus tarp maintains the same 3000mm waterproof rating and taped seams as other DD tarps. The UV protective treatment does not compromise waterproof performance, making it suitable for tropical climates where you need protection from both sun and rain.

Why is the UV50 Plus only available in Bancha Green?

The Bancha Green colour is specifically chosen for hot climate use because lighter colours reflect more sunlight and keep the sheltered area cooler. Darker colours absorb heat, which works against you in hot weather. DD Hammocks offers this tarp in one colour optimized for its intended use in sunny conditions.

Will the UV protection wear off over time?

The UV50 Plus treatment is integrated into the fabric during manufacturing and maintains effectiveness over the tarp's lifetime with proper care. Store the tarp out of direct sunlight when not in use to extend its overall lifespan, though the UV treatment significantly slows degradation compared to untreated tarps.

Can I use the UV50 Plus for winter camping?

Yes, the UV50 Plus works for winter camping and provides the same waterproof performance as other DD tarps. However, the lighter Bancha Green colour and UV protection features are optimized for hot climate use, so the standard 3x3 in darker colours may be more practical for UK winter camping.

Is the UV50 Plus suitable as a permanent garden shelter?

The UV protection makes this tarp more suitable for semi-permanent setups in sunny locations compared to standard tarps. The UV treatment prevents fabric degradation from constant sun exposure, extending the tarp's lifespan when used as a garden awning or vehicle shelter in hot climates.

Does the UV50 Plus weigh the same as the standard 3x3?

Yes, both weigh 790g excluding pegs and guy lines. The UV protective treatment does not add significant weight to the tarp, making it equally suitable for backpacking and lightweight camping as the standard version.

Can I use the UV50 Plus for beach camping?

Yes, the UV50 Plus works well for beach camping and beachside shelters. The UV protection prevents skin damage during extended periods in direct sun, and the waterproof coating handles unexpected rain. The lighter Bancha Green colour reflects heat better than darker colours in beach environments.

Intellectual Dishonesty, Malfeasance, and Conflicts of Interest...
Format: Hardcover
In "How We Do Harm,' author Otis Webb Brawley, M.D., shares his healthcare system experience from his early days at the Pritzker School of Medicine (University of Chicago), as a resident at University Hospitals of Cleveland, as a fellow at the National Cancer Institute, and as a physician specializing in medical oncology at Grady Hospital in Atlanta. Brawley has both the experience and credentials to call our attention to the systemic failures of a system that our politicians call the "best in the world (ignorance is elegant)." He is recognized as an outstanding physician-scientist who serves today as the chief medical and scientific officer of the American Cancer Society, and as professor of hematology, oncology, medicine, and epidemiology at Emory University In this book, the author takes the reader on a "guided tour of the back rooms" of the American healthcare system. He charges that "no incident failure in American medicine should be dismissed as an aberration...failure is the system, a system in which helping patients is not the point. Economic incentives dictate that the patient be ground up as expensively as possible with the goal of maximizing the cut of every practitioner who gets involved." Brawley's view is that of skeptic and health-reform advocate. Brawley uses his personal experience and stories to show how our system "fails to provide care when care is needed and fails to stop expensive, often unnecessary, and frequently harmful interventions." He feels one antidote to sure the ills of the system would be to base the system on science. His stories include: 1. The treatment provided to a woman whose breast fell-off due to cancer. 2. Misguided collegiality among physicians. "Should I tell the patient that the previous doctor was incompetent? And get hauled into court for slander?" 3. The saving of Mr. Huzjak whose daughter, despite his condition, wants everything to be done to save his life. "We never give up" when the humane thing is to give up. 4. The Wallet Biopsy - the reason why people are turned away from private hospitals and end up at public hospitals like Grady. 5. Treating colon cancer Colon Cancer. "If you are poor, black, and uninsured, you get no care until its too late. But if you are rich, white, and insured, you face another deadly menace, doctors (some socially prominent) who are just plain bad. Expensive drugs and tests that patients don't need." 6. The implantable defibrillator, and the growing disparity between the insured and the uninsured which increases as technology improves. 7. Procrit, Nexium, Vioxx, Intensity Modulation Radiation Therapy and other approved drugs and therapies that are leading patients to serious complications, and/or a worsening of disease, or death. And how overtreatment may be beneficial to everyone but the patient - doctors, hospitals, and the pharmaceutical industry. 8. The perverse incentive system in which has extended the standards of care enormously from three decades ago due to the willingness of insurance companies to pay and the willingness of private physicians to make a buck. Brawley, by "breaking the ranks about being sick in America," points to his Jesuit education as a foundational experience for his life journey. A Jesuit teacher, Fr. Richard Polakowski, early in his life taught "Say what you know, what you don't know, and what you believe - and label it accordingly." Along the way, Brawley developed a set of maxims what would shape his life: 1. Be a man for others. Find work where you can make a difference. Use your God-given gifts to improve the lot of others. Always focus on improving the lot of others. Do this for the greater glory of God. 2. Be binary, know right and wrong. Be truthful. Have the courage to speak truth to power. 3. Never worry about people thinking you are different. Realize, people, both black and white, will try to discourage you. They will try to get at your self- confidence. 4. You will be tested. Always know your subject matter better than anyone else. You must be good. You must stand up to scrutiny. 5. Do not let the naysayers make you feel you cannot do something. They will call you arrogant. They will call you aloof. They will question your intelligence...spite them by succeeding. 6. Do not tolerate fools. Don't compromise on excellence. 7. Never let people put you down. 8. Feel sorry for people who see no challenges to overcome. Feel sorry for the selfish. Feel sorry for the fools. Remember you have character they cannot understand. Relish you have overcome challenges they could never overcome. As someone who has worked for over 40 years in healthcare, Brawley's book resonated with some of my own experiences. His perspective, while not inclusive, has great value. However, he fails to note the role of government in shaping the system we have today - diagnosis related groups (DRGs), resource-based relative value scale (RBRVS), CMS CP codes, Medicare and Medicaid cost shifting, and, for me personally, the role of the FDA in driving up the cost of medical innovation. Much of what he describes as systemic failure can be attributed to government intervention. The private sector's greediness is a response, much like Wall Street's and the public's greedy response to the government's "everyone should own a home" policy which led to the Great Recession of 2007-2009.

A MUST read for any patient with cancer or for a physician
Format: Kindle
I would give this book 6 stars if I could. The book talks about medical care and cancer care in the United States. The care that many receive is very limited for the poor and poorly managed for the rich or well insured. We need treatments that have a scientific basis and a proven track record. Often Patients get pushed into testing that has not been shown to prolong life or decrease morbidity. A good example is PSA testing. The potential therapies can kill you or drastically take away quality of life. Would you take a test that might lead to wearing diapers for the rest of you life and not prolong your life ? If Your PSA is elevated does your doctor offer you 3 or 4 possible treatments and compare possible and likely outcomes? Is there any financial incentives for the proposed therapy? Is there an expensive piece of equipment that needs to be paid for? Have you been given a list of alternatives and expected outcomes? Unfortunately the current medical health care system is flooded with ignorance, apathy and often greed. Consumers (patient) need to know something about their disease. They must become active players. They should ask for proof that this therapy is better than another therapy. They also need to be able to ask their doctors "how many of these have you done and what outcomes have you had?" They need real expectations. If you have localized prostate disease that has a low risk of metastasis then why get the prostate ripped out ? Maybe it can be watched for 4 - 5 years before surgery and diapers and impotence. Greed? Yes boys and girls somebody has to pay for that 3 million dollar particle accelerator at your local hospital. Why should it be your life and body for some unproven therapy? Unfortunately education is a very difficult thing to do. You can tell I loved this book. Why is it the USA has such poor health outcomes? Over treatment can cause harm. Bone Marrow transplants for breast cancer is proof of the harm.

This book will educate and inform! A+
Format: Paperback
Now in my 7th decade, I spent my entire career in the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry. I can attest to the veracity of Dr. Brawley's dissertation. The maxim that all physicians and surgeons promise is the essential promise to "First, do no harm." Dr. Brawley teaches that not all who purport to care for us and our loved ones adhere to this promise. Just ask a vet. On the battlefield virtually all medical care is superb. Here at home, alas, it is not so. Too often, not always, but way too often he is right. Here's the bottom line. If you're not comfortable with what your being told about your health, or that of a loved one, don't hesitate, find another MD who though you may not like what they may say to you, you trust them with your life. That is exactly what you're doing. Much of the seeming heroics in medicine/surgery are really about making or saving money for the drug industry, or hospital, or doctor, or insurance carrier, and not about saving your backside. Certainly not always, perhaps not even most of the time, but way too often. Read this book and you'll be radically better equipped to understand just what may be driving the responses of the health care systems to your malady, and how you can assure the appropriate care for yourself or a loved one. Are there great doctors and hospitals out there? You bet there are. There are also those who couldn't care less about quality health care for you and are only focused on their own backside. This book will educate and inform you.

"More" is not "better"
Format: Kindle
I had the privilege of working with Otis during part of his training at the National Cancer Institute at a time that policies on PSA and mammography screening were being newly scrutinized with respect to risk/benefit. The notion that screening might actually do more harm than good was seen as absolute heresy and I fondly remember the wonder and amazement in Otis' eyes as he unraveled to me just how this counter-intuitive idea could be so. Twenty years later, the truths I learned from Otis back then are still not widely appreciated among patients, indeed even doctors more sadly. I eagerly snatched this book up not only because I knew Otis and expected a riveting review of healthcare but because my experience in pharmaceutical development has led me to participate unintentionally in some of the perverse systems of conflicts of interest that characterize our healthcare system. I am at a personal watershed and this book is a strong antidote for what ails me, i.e. I feel emboldened to take my career in the direction of a solution rather than continue to contribute to the problem. Written for the general audience, We Do Harm breaks the ranks of legions of doctors who are invested in perpetuating a broken but remunerative healthcare system by introducing specific and by no means isolated instances where patients have been harmed. This book is at once disparaging of blind trust of one's physician and optimistic in that some stars like Otis and microcosms like Grady Memorial can and do avoid patient-disadvantaged conflicts of interest. This book provides evidence and motivation for every person in every role they engage in in the healthcare system: patient, consumer, provider, insurer, politician. No one can escape the relevance and import of the key message of this book that "more" is not always "better." Until such time, if ever, that our healthcare system operates under transparency, this is a must read for all. That means you! Now! It can't wait! I am a believer that healthcare quality will come from the bottom up and not the top down and this book exemplifies this spirit; read it and be empowered to ask the hard questions as to who is motivated to provide what care and at what personal gain.
