I am the owner and very satisfied with this product. An interesting construction solution despite its inconspicuous appearance. The 2x3 metre size allows you to build a practical shelter for one person. The aluminium layer makes it possible to use it as a rescue blanket. The tarp is also equipped with reinforcements, thanks to which it can be converted into a hammock with a spreader bar or used as a stretcher. The camouflage version is practical for the military, while the olive one is perfect for BOB kits or professional survival sets. It may also appeal to tourists who are not planning to camp wild, but want to have an emergency shelter just in case – lightweight, compact, and useful for everyday use (e.g. as a sunshade in the mountains, protection from rain during a downpour or as a wind barrier in a windy location). The high versatility of the tarp justifies its price.
The Thermo Tarp is a combination of a camping sheet and a thermal insulation blanket (NRC). The tarp is made of a breathable and waterproof material that is both packable and lightweight. The fabric is also durable, thanks to a ripstop weave.
One side of the fabric is coated with a thermo-insulating layer, which increases thermal comfort on colder nights. On hot days, the thermo layer reflects the sun's rays, significantly reducing the temperature under the tarp. The other side of the tarp is made in a forest camouflage pattern, which easily absorbs heat and is unobtrusive - whether in forest areas, mountains or open countryside.
The sheet can be unfolded in many ways, for example, using the environment (trees, rocks, hollows of the terrain), trekking poles, paddles and even a bicycle. Thanks to its considerable size, up to 3 adults can sleep under it. It is worth mentioning that the tarp can also be used as a practical blanket, a heat reflector (e.g. when drying clothes) or a signaling sheet during rescue operations.
The kit includes a carrying bag and 10 meters of durable rope for hanging the tarp.

Great equipment – lightweight, well made. The thermal insulation does its job. It worked well as a makeshift tent and now serves as a canopy over my hammock. Worth its price. It's best to assemble it during the day ;)
-
Very good sheet. It has a decent camouflage colour, and most importantly, it has excellent thermal insulation properties – the difference compared to an ordinary tarp is noticeable immediately, especially in summer, when it feels pleasantly cooler.
-
The tarp is made very solidly, with an interesting camouflage and a practical reflective underside. The same durable material used in the brand's Hideout poncho has been used here. I definitely recommend it!

Large number of attachment points. Good thermal protection. Protects from rain. It is very durable. Comes with a lightweight cord and a practical small transport pouch. I recommend it.

First impression – the product seems very solid.
-
Very solid workmanship! There is no risk of tearing, even when you pull the tarp tight. It works perfectly as insulation from the ground when camping under the open sky, but also as an emergency cover. Despite the higher price, I recommend it, as it's a top-tier product. I especially recommend the 3x3 version for beginners – it's easier to make a shelter from it.
