    Great Review LRR

    Once again, thanks for the great Review LRR. That is an awesome total weight with lines too! Historically, I have always been a bit partial to the 4 season tarps out there but the hex is really starting to grow on me. I try to be more of a minimalist and the hex tarp is is in better keeping with that philosphy....You get the simplicity of fewer tie outs but with plenty of coverage.

    Man, you were able to get some nice closeup shots of the tarp. Mind if I use a couple for the website?


    @Rip Waverly Your project sounds like it is going to be fun....as always!

    Uhhhhh could we have that weight in grams????

    also what did the tarp weigh before lines??????

    All kidding aside I had the privilege of seeing this masterpiece in person and as usual the construction/care/and quality is that which one has come to expect with a HammockGear piece of gear was once again shown in LRR's tarp!

    Here's hoping that I too can one day own a HG tarp.....

    Any cuben tarp from HG is a most excellent piece of gear. I know I love mine,,and the wife coerced me into getting one for her.

    Thanks Cranky Bear and Acer for everything you have done for us, including all the kind words.

    LRR's tarp weighed in at 4.74 ounces (that's 134.38 grams) before his guy lines were added.

    CB, Shoot me an email when you are ready...

    The hex has grown on me as well, Adam you have created quite a master piece. Feel free to use any pics you would like and if you want me to email you the pic. as a file just let me know and I'd be happy to do so. This tarp has plenty of coverage and after using it I no longer see a need for doors during the Summer and Spring months.

    Well looks like stormcrow answered that one for me thanks you for doing the math for me. Any ways CB you knew the answers to your own questions and I have the txt. msg. to prove it

    And yes Acer, HG makes some might fine tarps. Now you just need to convince her that you guys both need Hex Tarps.
    Sometimes I like to hike and think, And sometimes I just like to hike.

    Hiking is'ent about waiting for the storm to pass its about learning to hike in the rain.
