The polycotton fabric doesn’t just resist damage from campfire sparks but also keeps you cool by creating deep, refreshing shadows.

Polycotton tents provide a more comfortable camping experience. They breathe to release humidity and insulate to keep in warmth. Polycotton tents are also durable, have a more natural hand feel, and are quiet in the wind. DOD uses polycotton that is 60-70% polyester, 30-40% cotton.
As a mix of synthetic and natural fiber - polycotton possesses the best characteristics of both. Synthetic tents don’t breathe, so they become humid when occupied overnight. And synthetic fabrics tear and melt more easily than natural fabrics. Synthetics have almost no ability to hold warmth. At the other end of the spectrum, all-cotton tents are comfortable, durable, and hold warmth but they are heavy and bulky. They also require treatment to achieve waterproofness. Polycotton tents are comfortable, durable, waterproof, and hold warmth without being heavy and bulky.
Polycotton tarps offer a more comfortable camping experience. They breathe to allow air circulation and are durable, have a more natural hand feel, and are quiet in the wind. DOD uses polycotton composed of 60-70% polyester and 30-40% cotton.
As a blend of synthetic and natural fibers, polycotton combines the best characteristics of both materials. Synthetic fabrics are prone to tearing and melting more easily than natural ones. On the other hand, all-cotton tarps, while durable and quiet, are heavy, bulky, and require regular treatment to maintain waterproofness. Polycotton tarps provide comfort, durability, waterproof qualities, and quietness without the bulkiness or heaviness.
The material is thick so it really keeps the sun rays out almost completely so you're not hot. Also, it's pretty big so you get a lot of coverage. Will definitely use it on every camping trip.
It's become an essential part of our outdoor setup. No more getting caught in blazing sun for days.
I love that this tarp comes with the poles/ropes so you don;t need anything else. I don't just use this to camp either. I also use it for picnics and bbqs in my backyard.
Beyond its functionality, I'm in love with the olive color of the Itsuka Tarp. It gives such a retro vibe to our campsite.
The thickness of the material makes it feel durable.I'm sure it's going to last a long time and not rip.
