Mountiangoat tarp skins

Since I cant find an actual thread on this vendor/product i wanted to start one.

These are perhaps the second best value purchase I have made relating to my hammock ($20 from woot and the no. 1 deal).

for $25 shipped i got a pair of very high quality well stitched mesh tarp skins custom fit to my eno profly. I got them three days after ordering. Katharine offers excelent personal customer service. and the pockets on the ends are just the right side to hold stakes tensioners and guylines ridgeline and connectors.

I cannot stress how pleased I am with this purchase and the mesh is perfect when you have to pack up after an evening rain or before the dew has burned off. While others were complaining about packing up wet tents and how their packs are going to be a soggy mess by the time they got to the cars. My tarp just got re-skined and tossed on top of my pack. By the time i got to the car the tarp was dry to the touch. After i got home i re -pitched it in my back yard to dry (a few pockets of dew were left inside the folds) and then reskined and hung back up with the rest of my gear. I can hand and pitch my tarp in the time it takes most people to dig their tarp out of their bags. We all know the most time consuming part of packing up is convinving a tarp to get back in its bag with the skins it takes all of two minutes.

again this is a five star product

What is the average weight of a pair of mesh tarp skins that Mountaingoat makes?

Can these be made for a WBSF?

I just noticed Atiris121 where you are from, I grew up in Enon. I still work for Chesterfield County. Small world.

Also, when the tarp is stored in the skins how do you pack it? D you just fold the skins over and stick it in your pack? I am thinking also that with the skins on the continuous ridgeline can stay on correct?

Ditto! One of the best things about hammocking is having the option to see the stars.

That's pretty much it, except in a perfect world you'd store the tarp skinned up in the outside mesh storage pocket on the outside of your pack, keeping everything else nice and dry.

Oh! You say your pack doesn't have an outside mesh pocket!!!!?????

Place another order with Kat, she'll make you one up :)

The pockets are for your ridgeline to tuck into and be out of the way, if needed.

Will the 11' fit the WBSF straight away or should I specify?

Another +1, the MG mesh skins are far superior to the sil skins I used to use. And the pockets for cordage are great!

Mine are on the way

Ordered skins, hats, and organizer last week. Katharina says they are on the way. I specified Mamajama fly but did not say anything about ridgeline length. Did I need to? Hammock is a WB Blackbird, 11'.

Edit: For skins made to fit a Tarp only, the (Hammock) Ridgeline length is not important. (cvt)

If the standard Mamajamba is 11ft she probably made it to fit, if you specify 12ft then she will fit for that. If it was me I would send a follow up email to be sure

Hi there.
I made you skins for an 11 foot ridgeline. You did not mention a hammock...if the skins are meant to hold both hammock and tarp, then let me know and I will make you a wider set, otherwise I make my skins to hold just the tarp.
