Kelty Noah's Tarp – Waterproof Camping Tarp Shelter, Rain Sun Shade (12FT)

Poles not included; this was a major upgrade for my site. I have the middle size pictured here. I thought I might have liked the 16ft, this worked for me & my small 2 person set up. It’s great because in rain and wind, you can really bring it down to give you better coverage. I set it up with only one person, which was relatively easy in low wind scenarios. This thing is awesome. Highly recommend adding to your setup.

This thing is awesome. My girlfriend and I spent 3 night in the CO wilderness with this as our sun shade for cooking and relaxing. It also sheltered us from some rain showers and high winds. The pre attached paracords in the velcro pockets on the corners makes for an easy set up. Im considering another smaller one for over my tent. Well worth the money.

I use this on my sail boat to provide shade and protection from the rain while anchored. Works very well, but ripped apart in 30 knot winds. I don't expect it to withstand 30 knot winds, but you should take it down when high winds are expected.

Quality Item. Holds up to weather and has great design features.

I was on the fence for this product and love it! Packs small and easy to attach to anything for a bit of extra shade. Even on a first try it worked great. Easier with multiple people to set up.

This is just a handy tarp to have on our van when sun or rain exposure is to be limited.

The best tarp out there.

Does NOT come with any poles. Otherwise it’s typical Kelty: High quality stuff.

This thing is big enough to cover a 4 man tent and provide shelter for a table & chairs to protect from rain / sun. It’s very light weight and packs down a lot smaller than an equivalent sized tarp. In some camp sites it’s too big so it takes a little more time to adjust, fold and set up. Maybe I’ll buy the smaller version to give me easy options in the future. I use it with two adjustable tent poles and they really help with creating the slope of the tarp which is essential to stop water pooling in heavy downpours. So far it’s holding up very well!

Good quality but we needed a square shape to set up for use in front of a fire.

Very cool tarp after the first time setting it up I do find it quite easy to set up and to pack away. The only issue for our needs it does not work in the South American sun. Sitting up on a beach in Mexico utilizing the tarp did not help to shelter us from the UV rays. Both my son and I got quite red. Not recommended if you’re looking to find shelter that actually protects you from the sun.

The worst tarp I have ever owned. The tarp has stitching that runs diagonally which means that when you stretch the tarp it only can effectively be used when pitching as a triangle on each side. Said another way when you are trying to pitch this as a square. Like you would in 99% of cases you are left with sag that you can not get rid of because of how they have stitched the panels together. If I could request a refund I would.
