    11' Hex Tarp for backpacking, Silnylon preferred

    Looking to upgrade my rainfly situation due to a very wet Saturday night spent in the woods last weekend. After spending way too much time looking at everything you guys/gals have to say on tarps (amazing forum, great resource), I think I've settled on a hex shape silnylon tarp and am hoping to find one here. I have a pretty basic hammock setup otherwise, but want to get a tarp I know will last and keep me dry.

    I go backpacking relatively often, so weight/packability is definitely a consideration hence why I'm not pulling the trigger on a Hennessy Hex or Chill Gorilla (anyone?) right now. Also not looking to spend much more than $100, so a superfly or anything up there is probably out. Based on your comments, I'm looking for one of the tarps below:
    - WL Tadpole
    - WB Edge
    - Arrowhead Toxoway
    - Maccat deluxe

    Lightly used or new preferable, any hardware or lines included would be awesome.


    Happy hanging

    Any interest in a Warbonnet MamaJamba with 2QZQ center pole mod, Grizz Beak & WB style doors ??
    Priced where you need it. 30D Silnylon. Light weight option if you leave doors/beak home.
    Yes, my pack weighs 70lbs, but it's all light weight gear....

    Thanks for offering, and I saw where you sold it a couple days ago.

    In talks to buy a tadpole and I'll update this thread accordingly.

    I have one that I made that is a bit too small for my hammock at 126". It's silpoly though. You can see it here in my thread on it: https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...-Tarp-question. See post #6 and #8 for specs, but it comes in at 12.6 oz.


    I have $54.20 in it and would sell it for $70 shipped to the CONUS.
