Genuine British Army Basha Shelter, Surplus Grade 1 USED

Seems to be robust and a nice size for hanging above a hammock, the centre tape is strong enough to save a few feet of rope for the ridge and the various loops and handles are handy. The fabric is a bit thicker than some tent flysheets. I haven't tested it in rain but there are no obvious holes other than the deliberate ones around the edge.I found a recommendation to store the basha by folding it with all the webbing handles together, then rolling it up. My first attempt got me a roll roughly the size and shape of a one litre bottle.

Love this bit of kit. Strong and sturdy. Still got some privates name on a piece of tape which was quite funny. Only down side is no carry bag. But a simple dry sack does the job. Great buy

Arrived with two substantial tears in the fabric - one near the ridge seam and one low down on one side. Expected used but intact, not used and torn. How does the vendor define Grade 1?

Good quality tarp. Heavy for its size but more durable than the lighter alternatives.

Very good shelter

Excellent condition though i suppose its luck of the draw. A wonderful bit of kit

This basha was ideal as it is lightweight and dries quickly and is very versatile. If you want different configurations then its best to go for a 3m x 3m.

I got the DPM version of this, arrived promptly and in good condition ready to be used. There is no storage bag but I wasnt expecting one and dont use those myself. I got to test this out in the field and it did exactly what it needed to do.
