Hey guys, once again I wanted to reach out to HF for some imput on the two tarps. I will be buying one of these before the week's end. If anyone has some feedback, good or bad, on either, please share.
Thanks

Which maccat are you asking about - the deluxe or ultra? I have both the BG and Deluxe and bouth are excellent tarps. Seems the side cuts are deeper on the deluxe (possibly males it lighter) but can't go wrong either way.
i don't have any experience w/MacCat tarps but i do own 2 WildernessLogics tarps (TadPole & OldMan Winter). i'm very happy with both. WL uses double coated sil-nylon for all of their tarps. i haven't seen any sign of leakage and haven't sealed either tarp.
i will be ordering a BigDaddy in the spring.

I had an OES MacCat Deluxe for awhile, currently own a WL Big Daddy 144 which I love. Both well made, excellent tarps. Big Daddy is slightly bigger overall, and slightly heavier. I can't say enough good things about WL customer service. Compare size specs, weights, and prices, and go with the one that suits your needs. Both are great tarps.
I've got a WL Big Daddy and love it--excellent tarp for the money.
Thanks guys. Sounds like there are a lot of WL fans on here. Me too.
If you can afford it, get a cuben tarp, a 12ft 8 oz tarp is hard to beat (except for the price)
I too had a Maccat Deluxe and now have a 144" Big Daddy. The BD def gives more coverage and I am a huge proponent of the guy line stow pockets. Both are high quality tarps. I would go with the greater coverage. Of course if your pocketbook allows, I would consider a Cuben tarp for a substantial weight savings.Quote:
