Hennessy Hex Fly $47.96

[lottie.lou]

Details below. I've been quoted $47.96 for a group buy, which according to my untrustworthy on-line converter works out at £23.52 (the price in sterling is just a guide and not the actual price).
The tarps are direct from Hennessy but they have some stored in London so we won't have to pay customs and the postage will be a lot less. According to my calculations it should cost £33 all in.


70D "HEX"-SHAPED PU-COATED POLYESTER RIPSTOP RAIN FLY
Size: 132"x 120" hexagonal shape Weight: 1 lb. 9oz , 700 g. This fly comes standard on the new Safari Deluxe but will provide generous protection from wind and rain for any model.

From here, SOTP and my friend theres 10 people already interested, so if they all go ahead that would make the postage around £8 (I think). Thats including the postage from London as its only $50 regardless of the size of the order. But its early days yet and that price will drop if more people are interested.

Have fun! shoot a stick

[lottie.lou]

Just had an e-mail off Hennessy apparently they are 10" x 4" when rolled up but they do not fit inside a snake skin.

Right I've worked it out and there's enough people wanting one for it to definitely cost £33 delivered to you via recorded first class, hopefully less but I need to buy some packaging too.

Sorry, but I'm not sure how the hex. tarp size is quoted & it looks a bit small for me (needing a good 2m long). However, if you guys can assure me that it will cover a Magikelly hammock end-to-end, then I'm up for one please.

[lottie.lou]

Its in inches, elsewhere on their site they quote it as being 10 foot by 12 foot, but that doesn't quite work out as theres 11 feet in 132 inches.

Either way its 3 by 3.5 metres. I don't know anything about Magikelly's hammocks so I don't know about attachments but it should be long enough.

[Mikey P]

If there's any chance of getting onto the group buy, I'm in! But, can you tell me how it is fitted to the hammock system?

It's what I use mine on - infact Magikelly himself did a group buy on these back along to go with the group buy hammocks - don't think they were this cheap though - I'll try and find a piccy for you

OK, not a clear picture, but you get the idea : magikelly hammock, with underquilt and hex fly:

ProAdventure and Complete Outdoors list the dimensions as 120" x 144" which would make it 10 x 12
anyhoo, i'll take one depending on how my swap goes

I found a thread on here from earlier in the year, that people were having problems with the corners ripping on the fly. I also noticed that Hennessy replaced them everytime which is reassuring, did they do anythiing to fix the fault anyone know ??

[lottie.lou]

Thats a bit worrying, well everyones welcome to change their mind if need be.

I'll make the order a week today 12/12/07. I'll accept any payment, Paypal, cheque, bank transfer, beer etc. I'll PM people details when I've put the order through. I don't want to start taking money before I order and then realise I've added it up wrong or something (even though I've checked it about 5 times).

[Shewie]

Yeah I wasn`t trying to put a downer on the group buy, I just came across it when searching on here. I`m definitely still in and looking forward to trying out.

Still in too, though it might be an idea to get a reassurance, if you can, that they've addressed any problems.

[Silverback]

I modded mine and put the post up on here http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/sho...hlight=hex+fly. I do know of several others that had a problem with ripping loops and I sent the modification details to Hennessy to adopt as they saw fit but do not know if they took it on board. The mod is very simple and effective involving a few short lengths of webbing tape and to reassure everyone the price is still blinding even if you do need to mod it

[bikething]

I've used mine in some windy conditions and not had a problem yet... and at this price, I'll agree with the hairy one :

... the price is still blinding even if you do need to mod it

so i'm gonna buy one for my spare hammock set

[lottie.lou]

I didn't think you were Shewie, I just worry too much! I'll ask about the loops though, the pool lady at Hennessy is probably getting a bit sick of all my questions by now! Mind you they're selling 20 rain fly out of it so far.

if i had 2, would the postage be the same or double, or in between?

[Ratel10mm]

OK, count me in please, but be aware that I am away from tomorrow until the 18th. I will try to get online & PP you on the 12th, but I cannot promise to be anywhere near a connection.

If that's a problem, then no worries. Just let me know either way please, and thanks for going to all this trouble for us.

[bikething]

buggrit - so am I .... and there's no chance of an internet connection where i'm going...

Lottie, if I can paypal you the estimated cost before I go (tomorrow lunchtime) we can sort out any 'adjustments' when I get back, if that's OK with you?

cheers
