Kelty Noah's Tarp (2020 Update) Sun Shelter Rainfly

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

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!

great durable tarp with many loops, features, wind resistant and great stability.

Well made tarp, appreciate that it has pockets for the included guy lines. We use it for a sunshade because we do most of our camping in Florida. I have not yet used it in rainy weather, but the heavy condensation of the morning here dries pretty quickly. The 12 foot version easily covers a picnic table area and room to spare. Loads of tie downs and configuration options. I wish it came with the poles. It will work with any sort of tarp pole or hiking poles, but I held out and got the kelty poles, which are tall and sturdy. Wish they'd bundle the whole lot together!

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.
