My black tarp with the silver lining is cooler to stand under than the DD green tarps ( tropical Aussie summer, tested) my 2 cents worth :P

This is what I use, yeah it has rings, but has no knots to tie up or undo every time either, you can even do it with motorbike gloves on too hehe.

It's a personal preference I know, but does size or the length of hammocks really matter. Ive been par-oozing some hammock forums for a while now and the topic of size comes up a quite a bit...
