    Which tarp to choose?

    Spent about 25 minutes on the phone with WL to learn more about the tadpole. It seems that it would be more than suitable for me with a 12" ridgeline, 2 panel pulls, and the poles to push the panels out. The total comes out to about $170 shipped. After reviewing the superfly it also seems great for $130. I get doors included for that price and panel pull tie outs. First question is what are the superfly dimensions and how long is the ridgeline? Which of these two would you pick?

    I usually suggest the tadpole for a solid first tarp, but after all those extras i would just go with the superfly. its wider and has door preattached.

    Thanks! Anyone know if the SF can be rigged to accept panel poles like the tadpole? And what length is the SF ridgeline?

    I opted for the Superfly. Like you stated, attached doors and pullouts...made my life much easier.

    It has an 11' ridgeline. 10' wide, 7'7 " long at ends of catnary cut along bottom edge, plus the doors. You could also call WarBonnet and speak to Brandon about your setup and needs, he has always been helpful anytime I call.

    Id like to see the answer to this as well....

    I saw a mod with the poles going over the top on the outside that was pretty simple looking.

    But I also saw a Wilderness Logic's Tarp with a pretty sweet pole set up on the inside as well.
