    Wilderness Logics Tadpole or Warbonnet Edge are both on the smaller side. I don't have either but those would be ones I'd look at.

    WBBB XLC + WB SUPERFLY good pair IMO

    The WB Superfly works well with the 11' WBBB XLC in my experience. But I'm not sure if that is what you were asking. I had a long day, read your question a few times and am still not sure but I think it cost about that much. There are some other excellent tarps that are similar perhaps longer. But if you go to long you may occasionally find a perfect pair of trees that is to close together for a longer tarp. I hope others have better responses.

    Wilderness Logics Tadpole is awesome! For the $140 you could even add panel pulls and an outside pole kit for more interior room. Though you said for lightweight so maybe you would want to leave those other options out and just have a great tarp for $90.

    Your criteria have eleminated very few tarps from contention. Shop around and find what you like. Keep in mind that your hammock is not 11 foot long when hung...the ridgeline lenght of 111 inches ( a little over 9 foot) is the suspended lenght that your needing to cover. Any 11 or 12 foot tarp will cover that with room to spare for good coverage.

    Don't have the tadpole, but have seen it in action. If I was in the market this is what I would purchase.

    Is the Toxaway light weight enough, that's my favorite tarp for the money. Great coverage and well built.

    sorry for the confusion guys ,I love the superfly for the winter but wanted something a bit more minimal for the summer here ,without doors but long enough for cover over the for the XLC.

    I have the WBBB and use the WB Edge. It has not failed me yet. Large enough to create a porch mode and yet easy enough to latch it down during rain storms. I went with it because I wanted lighter weight for 3 seasons without doors. Would have gotten the Super Fly but didn't want to spend the money for it before I decided if I am going all out for the high end Cuben Fiber. The edge is on the lower end of cost but made of quality materials and workmenship that Brandon is known for. It's been a great starter Tarp too learn on and now it has earned a spot in the arsonal of choice.

    Not sure what your issue is with the SF. I live mine in summer; usually just tie the doors on either end together inside the tarp with shock cord. Then if I,want a huge porch or the weather goes nutty and I want the doors I can use them. The weight and space penalties seem minimal, and setting up that way is no hassle at all. Just my 2¢... HYOH, YMMV, ETC...
