***CHANGELOG FOR 2022***
We have added grosgrain ribbon under the corner reinforcement patches and bar-tacked all tie-out locations to enhance durability and tarp longevity for customers in very cold or extremely hot climates.  This adds 5 grams to the total weight.  See last picture for details. 

At 7.61 ounces WITH rigging, this is the lightest tarp we can make.  Palatial for one person with gear, this tarp can easily fit two as well, with 59 square feet of typical pitch coverage.

Catenary curves along the ridge and each side allow for a perfectly taut pitch and alleviate wrinkles, sagging, wind noise and water pooling.

This tarp is designed to be pitched using 2 adjustable trekking poles, although other types of pitches are possible without poles. The ridge guylines are long enough to wrap around medium-sized trees.

This is the lightest Dyneema variant that is able to be printed, utilizing one side of printable film.

This is a no-sew tarp (except for tie-out bar-tacks); the entire perimeter and ridgeline is bonded. A properly bonded section of Dyneema is stronger than the material itself.  Thousands of tiny punctures caused by a sewing needle can weaken the tarp under load, so we chose to bond the ridge and perimeter.

It is constructed from a Dyneema Composite Fabric variant that is 0.67 oz/sqyd, half the weight of the material used in our stuff sacks and rain mitts(1.43 oz/sqyd).

While this material is extremely tough in the shear dimension, it is not able to withstand punctures as well as our stuff sacks and fanny packs. The tarp should last many years with careful use and deliberate selection of campsites free of falling branches, thorns and the like.

The tie-out reinforcement patches are made from one piece of 2.92 oz/sqyd Dyneema Hybrid Fabric to provide excellent strength and durability. The tie-out patches are a staggered fan design, similar to a racing sail, evenly distributing the stress under load. (Inside patch radius 3", outside 2").

Tarp rigging is included in the price.  Lineloc V's are used at all tensioning points and are the only adjuster that can be used effectively with the ultra-thin 1.3 mm Z-Line.

The guyline is double-wrapped within the tensioner for greater grip but you can single wrap them if you prefer quicker adjustments.

The ridge trekking pole loops and ridge tensioners are attached to the tarp with D-rings so you can remove them if you prefer to use titanium adjusters like Tarp Flyz, Stingerz, or Waspz.

The 4 corner adjusters and the 2 center-wall adjusters are permanently affixed but if you would like to use your own rigging/adjusters, please email [email protected] and we will send you the tarp with the reinforcement patches separate.  If you go this route, please allow 72 hours after attaching your hardware with the included patches for a properly cured bond. All stock tarps are shipped already cured and ready to use.

This tarp folds up perfectly into one of our Small Ultralight Stuff Sacks (not included). If you are good at rolling/folding, you could definitely fit it into an Ultralight Drawstring Stuff Sack. We prefer not to stuff-pack the tarp, as the thinner films found on this Dyneema variant will last longer with fewer creases.

This is a very involved and time-consuming build, please purchase your tarp at least 1 month before any planned trips. 

For more information on specs and setup, see below. Refer to the images to the left for a comprehensive display on the effects of different lighting conditions and 6 months of use on the color of the tarps.  Colorways will appear more saturated and opaque over the life of the tarp as it creases and crinkles and loses it's transparency.

Returns are possible on a case-by-case basis and the price includes lifetime repairs, within reason.

Super soft, cozy, and great quality Dog Bed
Size: Small 24"x18", Color: White, Size: Small 24"x18", Color: White
This pet mat exceeded my expectations. The material is incredibly soft and plush, and you can tell right away that it’s made with comfort in mind. My pet laid on it immediately, which is always the best sign. It provides just the right amount of cushioning without being too thick or heavy. The quality is excellent — the stitching feels sturdy, the fabric doesn’t shed, and it holds its shape well with regular use. It’s lightweight and easy to move around, making it perfect for use in crates, on the floor, or even on furniture for extra protection. Cleaning is simple, and it still looks great after use. Overall, this mat offers great durability, ease of use, and excellent value for money. It’s stylish, practical, and extremely comfortable for pets. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for a cozy, high-quality mat for their dog or cat 🐾

Cushion for the pooch’n
Size: Small 24"x18", Color: Brown
I’ve been using the ULIGOTA Dog Bed Crate Pad Plush Soft Crate Bed in my dog’s crate for daily resting and overnight sleep. Right out of the package, it’s clearly designed for comfort first. The plush top feels soft and inviting, and it immediately makes the crate look more like a cozy sleeping space rather than a hard plastic tray. Once fluffed up, it provides a decent layer of cushioning that’s noticeably more comfortable than a bare crate floor or thin mat. In terms of fit, it sits well inside standard crate sizes and doesn’t bunch up too badly once settled. The anti-slip bottom helps keep it in place during normal movement, which is especially helpful for dogs that reposition a lot while sleeping. Comfort-wise, it works well for small to medium dogs that just need light padding. It’s warm and soft enough for everyday use, and most dogs seem to settle into it quickly. However, it’s not a high-density or orthopedic-style bed, so it doesn’t offer much support for dogs that need joint relief or extra structure. Durability is average. It holds up fine under normal sleeping use, but it’s not ideal for heavy chewers or dogs that dig aggressively. Like most plush crate pads, it’s more of a comfort layer than a rugged long-term solution. Pros: very soft plush surface, comfortable for everyday crate use, easy fit in standard crates, non-slip backing helps stability Cons: not chew-resistant, limited support for heavier or senior dogs, cushioning is on the thinner side Overall: a solid, budget-friendly crate pad that improves comfort and warmth significantly over a bare crate, but best suited for calm sleepers rather than heavy chewers or dogs needing orthopedic support.

Soft dog bed perfect for small breeds
Size: Medium 30"x20", Color: White
This dog bed is very soft and fit perfectly in my dogs crate. I like that it came vacuum sealed and was really easy to open and leave out to expand. The material is durable and it is perfect thickness for a small breed dog. My Maltese puppy loves it and has been sleeping so well on it, she is very comfortable. The material is durable and easily washable, I already had to run it through the washing machine. Well worth the price and easy to fit in a crate or small space.
