    REQ: Help finding a 15x10 SIL- POLY tarp...

    Hello all,

    I've been searching for a few weeks now for a 15ft x 10ft SIL-POLY tarp. The closest I've gotten so far is finding the "Chill Gorilla Fortress-2" but it's SIL-NYLON...and that's too stretchy/porous for my usage. I would only get that if I absolutely couldn't find a SIL-POLY tarp of that same size.

    I currently use a DD-XL and it suits my every need...except, space. I have recently changed to a smaller ruck and I would like to start upgrading to lighter/smaller-packing items in order to save on space used. The tarp is my planned first stop, then the 40 degree mummy sleeping bag to a HG Econ topquilt, then the DD-underquilt to a HG Econ underquilt.

    Does anyone know of a vendor that sells a SIL-POLY 15x10 tarp for a reasonable price anymore?

    Thanks in advance,
    Dm

    Check with Jared at www.simplylightdesigns.com . He's a wiz with the thread injector and customer service is too notch. He's done a bunch of custom work for me over the years.

    Thank you so much. Sent him an email with details of the order request. I hope he's able to make it.

    I will always have the sil-nylon "chill gorilla fortress 2" as a backup option...

    That's very odd to not hear back from him. I'd try again. He really is very good.

    Knowing Jared, I would suspect that your email did not go through or ended up in his spam folder. He has a solid reputation replying to emails in a speedy manner and his customer service is top notch. The comments in the SLD subforum prove this.

    Implying that he's "not in business anymore" isn't fair to the vendor.

    ... or email address typo to him... or his reply ended up in your spam box... obviously a glitch in the works somewhere.

    I just had a couple of orders in with him. He responded within hours... and typically had my orders on their way in less than a day.

    Could be a mailform server issue he may not be aware of, yet.

    I've always just used direct to his [email protected] address.
