Optional Accessories:
- 2mm Orange Reflective Guyline in various lengths (Does not work with Line Lock V's or Line Lock Lites (10mm version)
- Tie outs can be configured with:
Loops Only
Line Loc 3's (standard on my tarps, work best with 1.5-2.5mm line)
Line Lock V - Small "v" groove can hold line as small a 1mm
Line Lock Lite (10mm) - works well with line around 1.5mm)
Line Lock Lite (15mm) - lighter version of Line Loc 3's holding 2-3mm line)
D-Rings (1/2") - (8) Aluminum Y-Stakes or UL Titanium Hook Stakes
- Patch Kit - Perfect for emergency repairs or there is even enough caulk that it can be used to reseal the seams if that ever needs to be done in the future. Includes small tube of silicone caulk, 12" x 12" matching fabric (custom tarps may not have quite a large piece, but will include what is available), stir stick (caulk can either be applied directly to tarp without diluting, or it can be diluted for thinner applications).
Weights will vary depending on options chosen

I have purchased many items over the last few years from simply light. I usually need a little or sometimes a lot of customization and I am never disappointed. I had them make this tarp in a blaze orange for a spring bear hunt as an emergency shelter with the ability to signal. As usual it was perfect
This is a high quality, lighweight custom tarp, one of several that I've bought over the past couple of years from SImply LIght Designs. Great communication and turnaround and a quality product. I guess that's why I keep coming back!
I got a custom 9.5 x 10 version of the Trailduster 2.0 made and couldn’t be happier with it. It has all the features I need and is so light and packable!!
The tarp arrived as ordered with quality seams. I received communication from Jared as soon as the tarp was ordered.
I recently got a custom Trail Duster 2.0, with a subtle catenary curve on each side, which offers the versatility of a flat tarp with the tautness in A-frame mode of a cat tarp. It's an awesome piece of kit with quality design and workmanship throughout. Jared was very patient and accommodating in talking through the design and I couldn't be happier with the finished product.
