I ordered a Superfly and no way will it fit into my hammock's stuffsac. War bonnet sells stuffsacs, but I don't know what size I should get (and they've not responded to the email I sent them a few days ago). Any of you know what size I should buy?

The superfly comes with a stuff sack. Its a little snug when I stuff it with snake skins. Is that what you're worried about?

Snakeskins are a better option, in my opinion. Not only can you "snake" the rolled tarp into the pack, but if wet they can be kept away from your dry hammock, quilts, etc. Also make it easy to setup and put away, especially on a windy day.

Ah...I didn't know it came with a stuffsac. And yes, snakeskins are great! I use them on my hammock and will use them on the tarp as well. Will regular snakeskins fit the tarp, or do I need specific ones due to the size of the Superfly?
The Superfly does come with a stuff sack, but it's not a double sided stuff sack. I ordered my snakeskins from mountaingoat and have been very happy with them. With my current setup, I put my Superfly into the snake skins, then stuff those into a 20" double sided stuff sack from Warbonnet Outdoors. You kind of need the bigger stuff sack when you have the skins as well as the tarp but I like the way it keeps the whole package. Most people skip the stuff sack if they have skins but for me it's easier to manage the whole package with both. Here are some pics of said setup.

They can both compress more than the pictures show but it give you a little bit of an idea on how they work. Hopefully this helps.

Thanks Jamaulwall...that's how I store my hammock (snakeskins and then into a stuffsac). I had planned to do the same with my tarp, and your info helped...I'll get the 20" stuffsac. I'll look into those Mountaingoat snakeskins as well. Thanks again!
EDIT: The Mountaingoat order page wants me to specify the tarp size, but I don't know what that is for the Superfly and it's not listed on the Warbonnet webpage for that tarp. Is it 11 feet?

I asked for and received a double-ended stuff sac with my SuperFly. It accomodates the Tarp w/MountainGoat Snakeskins with a bit of room to spare.
Give him a day or two and I'm sure he will respond to your e-mail.
