    Mesh Snake Skins

    So my HG mesh snake skin has started to unhem itself after a year. Any thoughts on anyone that makes a decent snake skin? Prefer one piece, 12ft long, storage pockets are not used so not a concern just one more thing to break. To clarify further, this is not a posting to debate whether or not a snake skin is worth being used, I find them useful and nothing will change my mind of that.

    I like SLD for stuff like that. Great attention to detail and he gets things out fast.

    I'll have to second that. I had a mesh skin from someone else, I think Dutch Wares, and never really like the pocket setup (I do use them). Ended up passing that one on and picked up one from Jared (SLD). Really like the design, and like we all say, quality and super fast.

    Order is in for SLD. I've had several HG and Dutchwares so this will be a new vendor for me. I certainly liked that Jared allowed for so many different variations. I went with 12ft wide, no taper, no pockets for my HG Dyneema fiber palace 12ft tarp. I appreciate the feedback from the forum.

    I make them with no taper and they are wide enough for most thick tarps with storage pockets. If you are ever in the market for another set.
