What tarp is everyone using with a Switch Back? I have a Big Mamajamba tarp with a 132" ridge line. It looks like enough length. dave

I ended up getting a custom oes deluxe with 144" ridgeline, works great
Any tarp with an 11' ridgeline should work fine.
I am using a MacCat Ultra Spinn. It has a whopping 144" (12') ridgeline. My small tarp that I use for my WBBB has only 116" ridgeline and that's not enough for the Switchback.

BMJ or OES Deluxe. Both are plenty big enough.

I picked up a 144" Hennesy at Trail Days for half price. It's more than adequate. Perfect really. I felt my Maccat Deluxe was a bit short. My wife will be using it for her Light Hiker.

Well, it's almost a tie between 132" & 144" tarps. I just got a SB and am trying to figure out what size tarp also. This thread asked the same question. Dale from TTTG answered that they recommended a 144" tarp.
