(Noob question) With winter coming around I'm at a bit of a standstill with which tarp I want. I'm between the edge and the mamajamba and I'm leaning towards the edge. I've seen where tarps are partly chosen based on season and I can't figure out why one tarp would be better than another in that aspect (wind coverage maybe?). Anyway, the lowest it ever gets down to here is 15 F so would the edge give me enough coverage with the add on door flaps in a southern climate?
It will work but if you get into any blowing rain the edge doesn't provide a lot of coverage. Many of use choose larger tarps in the winter so we can block blowing precipitation and wind. I would use the edge as a fair weather tarp when I do not expect rain nor wind.
Don't mess around. If you are planning on camping comfortably in 15f. Get the superfly. Yes, a little more expensive, but you will be thankful that you got the one with "doors" built in.
Superfly all the way unless you're concerned about oz.

So as long as I'm not planning on going ultralight anytime soon I don't have to worry about having any other tarp than the superfly year-round?Originally Posted by Tyst Död
I have both an Edge and a Superfly- I always take the Superfly, the Edge is my loaner.

Yes, the superfly is still very light and versatile and can be pitched in many different configurations...you won't regret it
I wouldn't think so. If you don't wanna use the doors in the summer there's methods of suspending the doors so they are out of your way. I think it's the perfect tarp for year round use.
