clark tx-250 with vertex tarp

[litetrek]

Per another Clark thread here, I have advocated for smaller tarps and smarter pitches, which work fine for sleep. The taste here and in the market, is for larger tarps. So, Clark no longer makes a small tailored rain fly, one which pitched -- literally -- close to the foot end of the gathered end hammock. It is all I need for a my NX250 w Cascades --vertical -- rainfall. Clark even eliminated the slight Shangri-La like taper of the Vertex fly.

So, any suggested rainflys which would work well and be really light in keeping the hammock dry in a squall?

Sorry, I can't offer any useful suggestions either. I have a TX 250 and I use the Vertex tarp with it usually, or sometimes I use the smaller "XL" tarp that came with it.

Could always look at one of the ENO tarps. Hey are relatively inexpensive and have been just the right size for me this past year. I have an NX 250 coming tomorrow and I can't wait!

I have an NX-250 with the Vertex tarp and almost always set it up in porch mode, I never camp in a state or provincial camp ground only on public wilderness land. I have never had a problem setting up the tarp as I carry a small saw with me, believe it or not in this day and age of leave no trace its ok to prune growth back, it doesn't harm the tree or bush if you remove some of the small branches that my be in your way. The smaller branches also make an excellent tension system when tying out your porch.
