My primary tarp is the Kelty Noah's. I have used it about 6 times now over the last 2 years.
It has seen very hard rain on about 3 occasions. I was wondering if I should just go ahead and re-treat it?
I did not experience any leaks or issues, but I don't mind being proactive.
Also, what do you recommend for treating? I have used the Nikwax products before on other gear.
Not sure what material a Kelty Noah is made from, but I've been using my silnylon Wilderness Logics Bullfrog constantly for about a year, including through the winter storms and deep polar vortex cold, and aside from where the tree branch punched a hole in it two days ago, it functions like it's brand new, even the seam sealing. Aside from some gentle cleaning and several applications of permethrine, i haven't touched it since seam sealing

The Kelty Noah's tarp I have is made from 68d polyester (Coated polyester taffeta)
First off, find out if it's PU coated, or silnylon/poly (silicone coated). It makes a big difference.
