Tarp for explorer help

**strung2tite** · 07-23-2009, 19:45

Im getting ready to order an Maccat. I want some opinions before I order. I cant make up my mind between a 10'X11' or 10'x12' in SpinnUL. I would probably perfer the smaller one but I have a HH explorer which is a little longer at a 110" ridgeline. Is 11' long enough? So thats it, any suggestions?

I think you will find the 11 foot will be shorter than the stock HH diamond tarp by several inches, about 2.5 inches on each end if memory serves. At least that was the case with my MC deluxe. The shorter tarp, combines with the hex cut, gave me less security than I had expected. But I think most feel it is still plenty of coverage. Myself, I would have preferred a bit more coverage on the ends, or at least a rectangular cut like my JRB.
