getting a tarp need suggestions

Great thread!
I'm suffering through a similar process. Need a good winter tarp. No 12ft wide silnylon tarps available. So right now it's between the SF or HG cuben w/doors.
Would love to find something in spinn but those are few and far between.

The house fly looks like a solid and smart leap for ENO not a bad ,hassle free way to go.

What other features are you looking for?

When I first ordered my Blackbird, I got an Edge tarp with it. I now have a Superfly to go with my Edge and to be honest, it's the Superfly that I take camping.
It's easy enough to tie the doors back when you don't want/need them, but they're always there when you do want/need them

I can't think of a better tarp. Sure, if I go camping in the summer I'll probably take the Edge but for everything else the Superfly can't be beat. And I'm glad that I don't have to deal with a door kit.

Doors and 12ish ft RL, wider the better and I'm somewhat weight conscious but not a gram weenie by any stretch.

I have a mamba jamba but the Superfly has doors

I have the HG Winter Palace. Love the cuben fiber for tarps. Impervious to water.

If the only difference to you between the Eno and everything else, is shipping, pull the trigger.

However once you own something from any of our HF vendors, you may feel different.

It's not always just facevalue, pricing and availability.

Would anyone from Eno, show up on your thru and effect a repair for you?

the SuperFly is superfly. But since you mentioned cuben fiber and $$got it$$ like that. get some cuben fiber. Ive had a SF for about a year now. couldn't be happier.....except with some cuben fiber. in all fairness to the other vendors im sure they all make a great tarp.

All I can say is that every time (and its a lot) I go camping with any of my buddies they obsess about my SF.
