For minimalist protection from the elements where heavy rain is unlikely, this tarp offers a sturdy, lightweight alternative.  The tarp is well made, and worked very well "cowboy camping" in the Sierra Nevada during a week long backpacking trip. 

For its light weight & low cost, it might be well worth carrying while day-hiking as well for emergency protection.

(Caveat:  I have not yet experienced heavy rain or high wind with this tarp, and cannot comment on its performance under those conditions.)
