"I am so glad I made the jump to a tarp. Super light, super stable, a million variations on setup, can be used for a number of applications, and kept me out of the wind when the wind chill was in the teens.

I was out in bad, cold weather for an overnight and just set up a small trapezoid with three stakes and my trekking pole."

"I've camped with tarps for years, and have actually have owned my own canvas company for 12 years. I've used the 16' Noah's Tarp during a rainy week of camping, and I think it's superb in almost every way except the sound that every rain drop makes, sounds like a proverbial downpour."

"I have used cheap tarps of all shapes and sizes for years to keep dry while backpacking. However, Kelty's Noah Tarp 12 has impressed me in a variety of ways. The bulky tarps from the hardware store simply don't do the job -- too bulky, too heavy, and depending on the size too little/too much coverage."

"a GREAT tarp. Lightweight, very easy to pitch and very versitile, stable in wind, drains rain very well, doesn't stretch in the rain, light in color so it doesn't get dark and dreary beneath in the rain. Far superior to square tarps. Well made and reasonably priced."
