    We were out a couple of weeks ago and one of the guys had Cuban snakeskins on his Cuban tarp. He says he has had no problems.

    I have net snakeskins from MountainGoat on my cuben tarp. They are great! Love them! I even use a set of sil snakeskins on my hammock. I slide the snakeskins into place and then stuff the hammock skins and tarp skins into my backpack. If tarp is wet, it goes in outer pocket.

    I don't even bother to tie up any of my tarp tieouts. They just get folded up into the tarp when I roll them up to go into the skins. Very fast. They simply fall out when I unskin the tarp. Rarely get tangles. The ridgelines do get rolled and put into the pocket at the end of the net skins.

    I use snake skins with my HG cuben fiber tarp. I really like them. Makes setting up and taking down the tarp much easier.

    Ditto here. I use mountain goat skins for my HG 4 season. They work fine. Cuben is not a slippery as sil so they don't slide in as easily but they work fine and I wouldnt be caught without them. Setup and breakdown is much easier with them, I think... I've never not used them.
