    We hung the tarp and played around with pitch angles. I decided to go a little fatter than thinner in pitch. I wanted to have enough door overlap for those that may pitch fatter with a BMBH or just like it that way. I do myself. But then I use the same tarp year round. I found the doors are handy in blowing rain conditions as well as for winter use.

    We will have pics (Thanks to AngrySparrow) and information on our website this week. The charge will be $36.00 for one set (enclosing one end of the tarp) plus return shipping.

    About the weight...we will weigh the next set we do and post it here and the website. It has to be less then the Grizz beak, probably 1/2 the weight, so probably 3 oz. is a guess.

    About the door noise, I usually roll the door up to the tarp and secure it versus a gather and secure approach. Makes it tighter and less noticeable.

    What are your plans for the Spinn OES tarps? Are you going to offer sewn on doors for them also? Would they be made out of Spinn or Silnylon? Would their be a price difference?

    I am interested in sewing on some doors to my OES Spinn Deluxe.

    Thanks,

    I would go with Sil doors, were it my tarp.

    Spinn doors are kind of a nightmare. Unless you have your tarp pitched *just* right, they are never tight and any looseness accentuates the noise of the Spinn fabric in the wind.

    I have tinkered with a prototype OES tarp with spinn doors with no good result. And Brandon from Warbonnet makes only Sil doors (even for his Spinn tarps) for that reason.

    Just my .02

    ZQ here.....Angrysparrow, Thanks for answering the question about using spinn for the doors.

    About putting the doors on a spinn OES tarp....As long as the tarp is a deluxe or ultra, and the sizes are the same as a slynylon OES, there shouldn't be a problem putting Silnylon doors on your spinn.

    Great! I'll definitely be sending my tarp in for the mod then when you have it up on the website.

    OK, this looks great! But, these are sewn on permanently, correct? So what would be the pros and cons of this vs the Griz Beak(GB)? Obviously, the beak is removable and can be left home entirely, or just one could be taken and added to the windward side as needed. So there might be a potential weight savings, I suppose.

    But what are the advantages of this compared to the GB? Maybe more stable and wind proof? And, you would not have to bother to attach anything once in camp. Anything else? Stronger?

    That was kind of what I thought when we played around with them on that day hike to "Virgil Cain" ( actually, Spring Hill) cemetery. I had the feeling that sil's stretchability might have actually been a benefit on those doors, and you wouldn't really need the extra waterproofness of spin. It(sil) would add a very small amount of weight.
