The tarp is of high quality. The seams are triple-stitched and the loops are extremely sturdy. Regarding the promised insulation against heat, a slight temperature difference can be confirmed when the setup is almost fully closed.
Thermo Tarp is a combination of a camping tarp and a thermal blanket (NRC). The tarp is made of breathable and waterproof material, which is also packable and lightweight. The fabric is also durable thanks to the use of ripstop weave.
One side of the material is coated with a thermal insulation layer, which increases thermal comfort on cooler nights. On hot days, the thermal layer reflects the sun's rays, significantly reducing the temperature under the tarp. The other side of the tarp is dark olive in colour, which easily absorbs heat and is inconspicuous - both in wooded areas, mountains, and open terrain.
The tarp can be set up in many ways, e.g. using the surroundings (trees, rocks, depressions in the ground), trekking poles, paddles, and even a bicycle. Thanks to its large size, it can fit up to four adults. It is worth mentioning that the tarp can also be used as a practical blanket, a heat reflector (e.g. for drying clothes) or a signaling tarp during rescue operations.
The set includes a transport bag and 10 metres of durable cord for hanging the tarp.

The tarp was tested as a cover for a hammock during winds of up to 70 km/h and performed excellently. Inside, it was cosy and warm, and the material remained intact. It was very comfortable to use. I highly recommend it.
-
A great idea to combine waterproof fabric with an insulating layer. The 3x3 size is perfect for one or two people. Very solid workmanship and durable material ensure it will last for many years. I definitely recommend this product and the Military shop.
-
Durable and strong tarp with many mounting points. Plus for the heat-reflecting layer. Lots of possible uses given its moderate size. It's not the cheapest, but I recommend it because, if cared for properly, it will last for years.
-
The tarp has a very universal size and is made of high-quality materials, with attention to detail. I tested its waterproofness and heat reflection during hot weather – in both cases it works perfectly. I also have the 2x3 version of this tarp. I can recommend both the product and the shop.
-
A top-class product :) This is not just an ordinary tarpaulin, but a tarp that will easily fit in your backpack thanks to its dimensions and low weight. The number of possible configuration setups gives great flexibility to adapt the shelter to different terrain. I recommend it to everyone.
-
Very durable and well-made tarp. I tested it in the forest in two different configurations. Its weight of 750g is optimal for me. Definitely recommend, at this price you probably won't find a better one. Delivery, as usual, was express.
-
In my opinion, it's one of the best tarps – it's durable, the corner anchor points are made from a single piece of tape, and the rest are sewn on. The extra heat-reflecting layer protects both from the sun and heat loss. Excellent product! I’m attaching a Grunt Proof review.
-
Very good tarp.
-
This is probably the best purchase from Military... :) Lightweight, well-made, the cover is convenient, and the colour blends perfectly into Polish forests ;)
-
Great product. Small and lightweight, yet when unfolded it offers many possibilities. It proved itself during field tests – it protects well against wind and rain. At night, despite the frost, it was warm and comfortable, with no problems at all.
-
After a year of use, I can say that the product is worth every penny and very solid.
-
This is one of the lightest thermal tarps on the market, with many attachment points. Strong coating, nice colour. Fantastic cover with the option to attach it. The sound of raindrops doesn't bother you.
-
Very well made and lightweight tarp. I think it’s the best product on the market. I recommend it to those undecided.
-
A lightweight tarp with neatly sewn-in drawstrings.
