SO Gatekeepers vs Lineloc2

[deertrout]

Anyone have experience with both? Leaning towards the LL2 for weight savings but the gatekeepers look pretty slick, are they worth the extra cost and weight?

I put linelocs on my dst. They are nice and make set up a breeze. Not sure how much weight they add but it can’t be much. If I was really counting ounces, I probably would leave the DST at home in favor of a smaller lighter tarp anyway. For my lighter tarps I use Blake’s hitches or tautline hitches.

The GK are easier to use, especially if you're anchoring the canopy and the nest at the same time. The linelocs are lighter. If you're just lifting the canopy to reduce condensation in warm weather then linelocs or a taut line hitch adjustable stakeloop extension is fine.
