I'm thinking of getting a set of snake skins for my Super Fly.
What would you all suggest as a best skin for backpacking with a SF.

From what I've read (I am going to get a set come fall I think), Mountain Goat Mesh Tarp Sleeves seem the most logical choice...made of mesh so you can hang them on the outside of your pack if they get wet and they can dry a bit as you backpack. I believe they even make them a custom length for the superfly and they have storage pockets for your tieouts.
I have Hennessy snakeskins on mine and it does the job quite nicely just to keep things neat, tidy and not fluttering around in the wind while I'm setting up.
Here's the link for the MountainGoat ones:

another +1 on the Mountain Goat skins. I have them on my Cloudburst.

I don't need to make my pack lighter. I need to make my (_*_) lighter.
Already mentioned by others but worth recommending again....the Mountain Goat Skins are great and the sewn-in pockets keep everything in one place nice & neat.
Would buy them again in a heartbeat.

I got mine from Wilderness Logics. If I would get another tarp and skins I might try a single one instead of two skins.
I've made mine.
that fit like a glove.
Another vote for the mountain goat skins, fit the superfly perfectly and they also fit over the hammock gear winter palace which is awesome!
I am looking for snake skins too. I have looked at the Hammock Gear Cuben Fiber skins, but will have to check out the Mountain Goat Skins as well!

I've heard the mesh bug net don't really help dry the tarp. It's a nice idea though.
