Tarps with doors - what are the options?

[hutzelbein]

Since it seems that it will take a while until the tarp of my choice, the BWDD Winter Dream, will be available again: are there any other tarps with integrated doors on the market? I could only find tarps with seperate doors (WB, Grizz) or retroactively attached doors (2QZQ). I'd really like to get tarp with integrated doors by the end of October...

Warbonnet has removable doors, and OES will have a door design soon for the MacCat series. I hope they're sewn on.

You can also send any tarp to 2Q/ZQ to have doors sewn on.

How much extra warmth is provided by tarp doors? Do tarp doors make condensation a problem?

The primary benefit from tarp "doors" is to break the wind and reduce heat loss from "wind chill" during colder weather. In warmer situations where there is a lot of blowing rain, they can greatly reduce the drenching of your gear from the ends of your setup. There's usually so much air circulating from under the tarp edges that condensation is not an issue. I suppose you could conceivably pitch a tarp with doors so tight to the ground/snow that you might get condensation, but that's not how I do it.

Hey Doctari!
We have had some great times at Mt Rogers. I don't know about "senile"...but I also seem to suffer from short term memory loss when all these hangs run together.

ZQ had put doors on AngrySparrows Ultra I know. This past year, with the 10" of snow dumped in one night, the doors on my MacCat, MedicineMan's and a few others, proved very helpful. The pole mod made the biggest difference however keeping the snow from caving us in.

You might also remember the Grizz beaks. They were there also.

Here's the video from last year....

So does anyone know about OES's time frame for offering doors on the MacCat? I've narrowed my selection down to the MacCat Deluxe or the Big Mamsjama from WB. I heard WB is 3 weeks away from getting any SpinnUL with their tarps (which is the fabric I biased toward. I definitely want doors, so I'm thinking that if WB gets the SpinnUL before OES starts offering doors, I'll go with WB. OES gets their doors going first I'll go with them.

From what I have seen Brian does not put out products at a predictable pace. They are rumours and then they just appear. However PM him and I bet he knows better than anyone else.
