Snake skin sizing

[Dogginfox]

I have a HH ULB i have an oversized tarp (same as neos camo one) I will be using a down bag and am hoping i can just leave it in the hammock and get a pair of snake skins that can contain the whole thing, any ideas on what size i should be looking for?

The Largest HH SS is #4...it will not hold all that... since it is patented try asking Tom Hennessy to make a larger size.

I'd reconsider stuffing a down bag in the same waterproof container as a possibly wet tarp. Might be worth considering a small set of snakeskins for the tarp, then a separate set for the hammock/bag.

I bet it's not easy to leave a bag in the hammock and stuff it into the skins...worth a try, though.

Skins are cake to make. If you cut the material yourself, you could probably take it to the alterations shop and get them to sew it for a few bucks. It's only two short hems and a long seam per skin.

Good advise. It's really not that hard to stuff a sleeping bag into a separate stuff sack from a hammock without it ever touching the ground, so it doesn't make sense to leave it inside where it could pick up moisture from either a wet tarp or a bit of condensation on the hammock itself in some weather conditions.

Plus the snakeskins and hammock aren't fully waterproof - something to consider if you are doing creek crossings, carry a hydration bladder inside your pack, or are backpacking on a rainy day.
