    Did the Edge change length?

    While shopping on the Warbonnet site I noticed that the dimensions of the Edge tarp are listed as 132" x 94". I'm pretty sure that they used to be 126" x 94" in the past, and the complete description also refers to the shorter length. Did the design change or is it simply an error? I don't remember having read anything about a design change. This would make the decision between the Edge and the Tadpole difficult...

    I think you're right. In my equipment spreadsheet I had the Edge measuring 126 x 98 and weighing 10 oz. Now the weight is 11.25 oz, which is consistent with the new length. The narrower width may be to keep the weight down.

    I bought mine right before Thanksgiving last year. At that time it was listed as 126x98 and 10oz.

    I don't know for sure, but if I had to guess I'd wager that it's because of the WBBB XLC. Since I think the edge is designed to be a minimal tarp sized to just cover the Blackbird perfectly, it would only make sense that the slightly bigger Blackbird would call for a slightly bigger Edge.

    Then again, that's just a shot in the dark.

    We did change the dims a few weeks ago (sorry i forgot to post here)

    We made the RL longer and also lengthened the ground edge to give more end coverage (less taper), and made it slightly narrower to offest the weight increase.
