    Cuben Sleeves

    Does anyone know whether the standard HG cuben sleeves are a single or two piece design?
    I'm only asking because when I ordered them with my Standard Hex Tarp I got the two piece... a friend and I just received our two Hex Tarps with doors and the sleeves were a single piece with a draw cord at one end.
    I really don't prefer one over the other (that I know of), I'm just wondering what the standard is.

    Thanks
    A hanging, though, was something different. I got to thinking. We hadn’t never been to nothing just to have a good time. A hanging was special and we was all getting to go.

    I believe that Hammock Gear has recently changed from 2 skins to 1 long skin or Python style skin.

    Single piece, tapered on one end. 11' long ones weigh .9 ounces.

    Mountain Goat mesh skins are two piece, and are listed at .74 ounces (never weighed my set to give you a true weight though). Those are a little less expensive I believe as well.

    Perhaps they changed it up. I just received my tarp with doors. The sleeve was a one piece. I was expecting 2 piece one but the tapered one piece I really enjoy.
    Sup?

    In an email exchange, Jenny told me that they now offer only the single sleeve design.

    How do you like them as opposed to 2?

    Only had it in the field once so far, but it worked fine.

    My HG Cuben sleeves that I just ordered with the Winter Palace are 2-piece.

    Why is it tapered? Doesn't that mean you can only ever draw back one end?

    Interesting. I was told by HG that they had given up the two-piece design out of respect because it was another manufacturer's idea.
