Overview
Built for flexible field use, this reversible tarp can serve as a quick shelter, improvised tent, ground cover, or bivy layer when conditions call for extra protection. Its reversible ACU camo sides offer two color options, while the non-reflective ripstop nylon and waterproof-treated construction are intended for practical outdoor coverage. Button snaps allow multiple tarps to be connected, and grommets provide tie-down points for stakes or guy lines. Please note that surplus condition may include DRMO ink stamps or pin holes from long-term storage, which can affect waterproof performance.

- Condition can vary on surplus items, including a possible DRMO ink stamp that may need removal.
- Reversible camouflage gives two field-use options, but it is still a single tarp rather than a purpose-built shelter.
- Button snaps and grommets add setup flexibility, but they also mean it is designed to be secured or connected rather than used as a standalone cover in every situation.
