I need something bigger than the stock HH tarp. This is 12x12 and cheap so there we go.
IN camo this is the much talked about Neo tarp... Its great value for large coverage. Search the forum for tons of comments and users..

I saw Neo's tarp a few weeks ago. You will get a lot of coverage from that tarp, and it is a bargain. Probably not the lightest choice, assuming it is made of the same material as Neo's. But as far as price and coverage goes, hard to beat.
that is not the "neo" tarp but it is similar - however it is on "back order" until march according to customer service at sportsmanguide.
The 12 x 12 version of this is neo's tarp:

Is there any difference other than the camo? Made of different materials?
The tarps appear to be different, but given that neither one is available it doesn't make much difference.
although they are much more expensive, the new speer and jbr tarps still seem like bargins to me given that 1. you know what they are made of and what they weigh, 2. they are made and sold by companies that at least have good reputations on this forum, and 3. you can get detailed pics, descriptions, and diagrams at their websites.
I'd be buying the Speer Winter tarp if it was long enough for what I want...
The material alone is a significant portion of the cost.

What about this? It's cheap and it looks like it has better coverage than the stock HH. Just a tad heavy.
it's less than 10 x 8. i think most are looking for larger tarps.
I'm just having trouble finding a cheap tarp. I'm not to happy with the stock HH. It has kept me dry some days, but I would feel much more secure with a larger tarp.
*sigh*:(

Get 8 yards of sil from Ed for $32 and make your own...probably $50 total for a 10x12 tarp from 1.1 oz silnylon.
I don't really got time to make any of my own gear.:(
..... I wonder what car covers and shower curtains are made of :)
Neither will be what you want... Car covers are generally too thic
Campor sells the Kelty Noah's Tarp 12 x 12 for $60 - it has cat cuts but weighs almost 2 lbs. but it has lots of tie outs - maybe someone on the forum actually has one that can speak about it.

funny you brought up the Noah's Tarp, when I think of the sg tarp(9x9) I bought it reminds me of a knock off job of the kelty(9x9) and I'm pretty sure that they are both pu coated polyester with tie outs in all the same spots
Frick, maybe I should just sacrifice the weight and do that. Seems like my only option since I don't have a steady period of time to make a tarp.
Anyone know how big the ASYM 70D P.U. COATED POLYESTER RAIN FLY is?

well the HH PU hex isn't a bad deal at $60
You could actually get one with the odds and ends hammocks (if they are still selling). It's PLENTY big but weighs aroudn 25oz (which includes the lines I think).

Tried to order one and found out that they are out of stock and don't expect them in till March of next year. So you'll have to wait 5 months on that question.

I have a 9x9 Noahs tarp. It is the same size and cut as the "NEO" 9x9 but weighs 3 ounces less. I would think the 12x12 Noah would be a bit lighter than the 12x12 "Neo" tarp. The 9x9 Noah is on my avitar with more pics in my gallery. Its a good tarp but I don't use it much.
