Kelty Noah's Tarp
Stretch the Kelty Noah's Tarp over your camp kitchen, beach kingdom, or fastpacking bivy site for lightweight shade and weather protection. This simple tarp sets up in a flash and provides a base station for all your recreational pursuits. Two sizes and multiple configuration options allow the Noah's Tarp to adapt depending on conditions.
Bottom Line: Escape flooding sun underneath the Noah's Tarp from Kelty.

Is it water proof? Would it work as a rain fly for a hammock

It's waterproof and seam sealed. It would definitely work for a fly over a hammock.

Worth it's weight in gold!

I got this for the sole reason to bring to the beach for shade for my dogs. It was amazing. I have the 12 footer. Tons of shade, lots of room. I was able to fit 4 adults sitting in beach chairs and 2 dogs with plenty of room left over! It held up great to 20-30mph gusts of wind, I had to add a few extra sand stakes and guy lines to help out. Set up took about 15-20 (including sand stakes) minutes with 2 people. Without the stakes I am sure it would only take about 8-10 minutes. Overall I recomend this for a large, sturdy beach shade!!! The one down side is that my dogs's rope kept getting tangled up with the guy lines.

No, it comes just with guylines (but Kelty does sell poles separately).

It Just Makes Sense!

What can't you do with it to beat wind, rain, sun, even snow for about 2 pounds? I packed 30' of para cord, a few more stakes and tiedowns. Just find a high point (tree, tree limb, rock or angle your kayak, who needs a pole?) to attach to, instant shelter.
I think it would be great at the beach as long as you had some poles or another structure to attach it to. There's plenty of guy outs to stabilize the tarp if it's windy.

Incredibly Useful

I just took this on a trip to Colorado and set it up (tied the grommet ends to trees and staked down the other ends)to throw wood under and cook/eat under. Guess what, it rained every day/night and all 5 of us + 2 dogs sat under it while cooking and eating. It was great! For those who have cooked in the rain, it's no fun. It also worked great for keeping our wood dry for fires at night. I'll never backpack again without it!

I love this tarp so much I bought two of the 12' tarps. with so many attachment points, you can set it up just about every configuration that you can think of. Extremely versatile. I have rarely used it with poles as usually I can find trees around that I can tie around. I have some light weight poles but lately, I have just been using my trekking poles when needed to save the weight. It is light weight considering the size/material and stuffs down pretty small with a compression sack.

You could string it up between two trees.Sorry - I deleted what Phaedrus said.He said you could use trekking poles - save weight by making them multi-task.

I have enjoyed this tarp very much. It is light and easy to set up. It does exactly what its supposed to do, protect you from the elements, and does it well. Kelty makes a pretty good product. If fast, easy shade and shelter from the weather is what you're looking for, buy the Kelty Noah's Tarp.

I got a kelty brand pole from here a couple years ago, but it doesn't look like they sell that anymore. You can get them at most outdoor stores, or you can pitch it with trekking poles or on trees. These tarps are really handy.
