HH Typhoon tarp & Deep Jungle hammock

[Greensoldier]

Hi anyone have the typhoon and can weigh the fly without doors and with?
I was considering the tadpole with doors but its pricy. This is 119.00 with removable doors. I am looking to get one fly that can be used year round and in winter or in heavy rains add the doors.
Looking for a sylnylon under 19oz.
Thanks

I own both (Typhoon and DJ) and found that the typhoon is rather on the small side. I.e it doesn't come down to the ground. You can see by the photos that it does and even though it gives you a covering, I found for wind issues, I felt exposed. If you are in the forest or more protection then it work well but for me I needed some more coverage. If you can afford it, and it is a huge cost but I've up graded to the HG 12' cuban fibre camo tarp and it's huge with coverage down to the ground and some good tie-outs. I love the DJ and it's the only hammock I own but highly modified it to my liking. So go with the Typhoon as it's still a good tarp but there are plenty of good tarps out there from other vendors as well.
