The CartarpKelty Cartarp Shelter (Navy/Grey)

The shelter sets up very nicely using velcro straps to connect the tarp to the luggage rack. However, I am only giving four stars because there is no apparent way to make the set-up tight enough to prevent puddling in the rain. I had to jury rig the velcros so there was a low corner, and when the puddle filled up the weight would dump the water on the low corner.

On the plus side, the shelter covers s lot of territory ... a three man tent and a seat with room to open the car doors. It stood up well for a couple of thunderstorms and dried quickly. I even fell asleep during one late night thuderstorm and awoke the next morning in a dry tent. It was great having my tent in the shade on the hot days and the extra rain coversge. The shelter is well-built ... light and strong. I would recomment this item for anyone who feels they can use it.

this shelter is easy to put up and it only takes a few minutes. have used tailgating at games, on the beach, and have attached it to the canopy to my camper, its come in real handy to provide shelter and shade.
