Seeking recommendations for light weight hex fly
Posted: Sat 08 Aug, 2015 10:02 pmHi all,
I'm seeking recommendations for a light weight hex fly to use with my Hennessey hammock. The standard Hennessey asymmetrical fly does not give enough coverage during storms (ask me how I know this). The Hennessey hex fly, (which I currently use), whilst giving good coverage and protection is fairly heavy (just shy of 800gms).
So, I'm in the market for something lighter that still gives reasonable coverage.
Ideally I'd like a product available in Australia, however depending on options I may have to import something.
The cuben fibre products look great, although expensive and I can't seem to find an Australian supplier.
Products looked at so far...
Overseas...
http://www.mountainlaureldesigns.com/sh ... ucts_id=59 - this looks ideal but is not stocked here
https://www.hyperlitemountaingear.com/h ... tarps.html - this is a flat tarp but would still suit my needs
In Australia...
http://www.tiergear.com.au/11/online-sh ... grine-tarp - a local product though is not cuben fibre so is slightly heavier
Anyway, just putting out to the brains trust for suggestions... Perhaps there is local small manufacturer that I have missed?
