You can make one yourself
Properly proportioned and appointed, a well thought-out rectangle tarp can give you the full-enclosure protection of a winter tarp with packability and light weight that rivals a hex tarp, while still offering versatility for a variety of applications, including tandem hangs, weather protection over bridge hammocks, and ground pitches.

Advantages include the following:
* It is built from 8 yards of standard-width fabric (only one yard more than a hex tarp), so it is extremely cost-effective for the area of coverage it provides.
* It packs almost as small as a hex tarp and weighs under one pound (when built with relatively sturdy 1.1 oz fabric).
* It provides full-enclosure with "doors" in fall and winter and has internal pole compatibility for double poles.
* It provides superior wind-blocking with lots of options and a generous protected area from both sun and rain when pitched wide in warmer weather.
* It has a great porch mode, including a "floating" option with internal poles.
* It has a convenient "hex" mode ("doors" folded under) to provide weather protection with superior ventilation and views.
* It allows for tandem hanging with two 11-foot hammocks side by side using a 36" spreader bar.
* It works well with bridge hammocks.
* It is relatively easy to cut and sew.
If you're looking for "one tarp to do it all", a 12x10 rectangle tarp made from lightweight Dutchware Xenon like the Cat Tangle seems like a very good jack-of-all-trades option, IMHO...
