Tarp Snake Skins

[sparky32]

Ok, just a quick question for all of you experienced hammockers. I do not own a sewing machine and wouldn't have the slightest idea what to do even if I had access to one. I recently purchased a WBSF tarp and quickly realized that some snake skins would be a much more efficient way to deploy and pack up my tarp.

Since a DIY project is not an option for me, what brands do you guys own?

I've heard of the MountainGoat skins and like the idea of the mesh material construction (for quicker drying if wet), but what other brands are available that you all like/own and what do you like about them?

Yeah, maybe I should add that I am a backpacker not a car camper, so something that doesn't add a lot of bulk and weight is a must.

I took apart a shower loofah (it's a mesh tube). Seemed to work well; maybe as two pieces it'd be nicer? I liked how the material's stretchy; I didn't like how my tarp flyz on the end would snag when I was pulling the tarp through.
Not using it at the moment, though. Forgot to put it back on and haven't bothered with it since. The tarp packs up a lot smaller without it, and I don't mind folding up the tarp (as long as it's not too windy). I do a lot of my camping by bike, and size is kind of important there.

Wilderness Logics also has tarp skins, but I wouldn't know how they compare to the Mountain Goat ones.

if its only for your tarp MountainGoat skins ( i have never tried these ) or hennesy would definitely be the way to go ,it really does help with setup ease of use and time ,i am pretty sure shug has a video on them but cant find it ( he has that many )
