Does anyone know for sure whether a Metolius Bomb Shelter double fly will fit well on a BD Sky Lounge ledge?
Though I believe they are discontinued, you can still buy a BD double fly for $200 at Pagan Mountaineering. BUT, the Metolius fly is only a little more ($250) and looks like it has more features----a nice window for example.
Thanks,

While you might be able to use a metolius fly on a BD ledge, it will not fit as well as a BD fly will so I would say go for the black diamond.

A response from Metolius said they weren't sure about compatibility, only that their ledge measures 84" x 45". The BD measures 84" x 42 1/2. More later

I found mine in a classified ad from a guy in southern Utah. Been looking on ebay for months, but the bidding always seems to spiral out of range.
Open to any good ideas about where to buy the fly.
