    Thanks OG, I'm still on the fence with them, might just use snake skins and see if those tame the lines any better.

    Velcro may not be necessary, but I'd put the opening on the other side so gravity could help rather than hinder their staying in.

    I've got pockets and love 'em.

    I don't always use them when I roll the tarp to slip on the snake skins, but...I use prusik's to attach and adjust the guy lines so any excess line gets stored away in the pockets and stays nice and neat.
    Those do look pretty sweet, which now makes me think maybe I will put them on

    Thanks for the feed back, so far no one seems to dislike them.

    When I finish with my mods to the guide gear 12 X 12 it will have them as well.
    So thats another vote for them, thanx. Do the Hennessey's have mesh pockets or reg. fabric pockets? I went mesh for storing wet lines figuring I won't end up with a science project inside the pocket over time.

    Thanx Convert, my laziness with line does lead to some ugly tangles!
    Good luck,
