    How small does the superfly pack to?

    Just that. Instead of dimensions, could you give me an idea compared with a common physical item.


    Thanks

    Here's the Superfly in the original stuff sack. Ridgeline, tie outs, and pole mods included.

    Somebody posted a pic on a HF Facebook post a while back of one packed even smaller with a compassion sack of some kind.

    Most of the cottage gear manufacturers make their stuff sacks so when you put the item in your pack it can squish around a little bit and conform to the pack and the other items in the pack. When it's compressed as tight as it can be in a compression bag, it's essentially a hard ball that has no give and can actually be harder to pack. --just food for thought

    I'm aware, I use my sack that came with my SF, merely pointing out that if overall volume is a concern, it can be made almost half as small.

    Thanks! I am contemplating purchasing it and the size comparison really helps.

    Thank you all. I am really considering this tarp. Ultimately would love a HG Cuben Winter Palace, but I need to work my way up there. Do you think that the superbly has enough coverage to put two hammocks side by side? After all I went through to get a tarp tent system, he now wants to try hanging with me....but RIGHT next to me.

    Once I save up enough $$, I will be looking for a used SF.
