    I have a 12' RL on an AHE Toxaway. Great tarp and you can fashion doors on one end in a pinch. That being said, it will soon be regulated to my winter tarp for deer season. I see an 11' CF Hex in my future now.

    I'm in the minority again in that I prefer a 12' tarp. Even as a lightweight backpacker, I don't mind spending the weight on a little extra room and spreader bars. It's only slightly over an ounce difference in weight between an 11' & 12' Superfly.

    I use a 12' hex tarp from SLD on my 11' hammock. I use whoopie slings so it doesn't really take up much more space (if any) than I would have to use anyway. I don't know what the weight difference would be, but hanging a small backpack from my suspension has worked well for me in the rain, in terms of coverage. If you're new to setting up tarps and hammocks going a little bigger makes it that much easier.

    I have used 11' hex tarps with a 10' hammock for years, and there have been instances, where rain was blown under the tarp and on the hammock from the ends, although the tarp was set up as low as possible. So I would say, an 11' hex tarp works with an 11' hammock if you know how to select your site. But if you don't or can't, an 11' mini-door tarp is a good investment.
