    Question Snake Skins Vs. Python Skins on Kelty Noah 12

    I am new to the forum and new to hammocks a friend form work has introduced me to the hammock camping and i am hooked as it really helps my back so anyways back to my question i bought a Kelty Noah 12 Tarp when it was on sale i love the tarp but it is huge which is not a bad thing but it makes packing it up a pain so my question has any found and used snake skins and or python skins for the Kelty Noah 12 successfully and if so where to get them?

    I know Amy on Mountain Goat Sells some i would just like to know if there are any other options out there

    I have snake skins from mountain goat they work well on my 12ft Noah. A lot easier than trying to fold it. However at 12ft it's still a bulky tarp.

    I use the Hennessey Snake skins on my KNT12 they're snug but work well.

    I made this video for a guy on the Facebook hammock page, to help him with his Noah 12 set up. in the beginning it shows the the mountain goat snake skins, and i would highly recommend them.

    Simply Light Designs makes some. I used the 12 foot set xlarge. Work great.

    I prefer the one piece Silnylon skins. The one I use is only 3" in diameter. Had to mule tape the tarp to get it in, but it swallows and deploys a 12' Toxaway just fine in the pines.

    You'll need one a little larger for the Noah. Nice thing about Kat @ Mt Goat, she knows the different tarps, or will study them first to get the best fit for you.
