I’m extremely pleased with the Medium Kama tarp. It’s exceptionally large and I intend to use it as a rain cover for a picnic table and kitchen table while car camping. I previously attempted this with a cheaper tarp and the grommets blew out with mild winds. So far, the Kama has stood up to 15mph gusts without issue.
It’s water resistant out of the box, although research online suggests to pre-water and dry canvas and canvas hybrid tarps before field application - I’m not sure that’s needed here though.
Since the material is breathable, it’s both cool and much less stuffy under the tarp than cheaper plastic tarps (like the blue ones).
I’m pleased with the tan color, but it would be nice to see some additional color options (like white/canvas).
One of the poles arrived with minor tolerance flaws, but customer service was easy to get a hold of, prompt, and offered to replace it.
As a first time buyer from DoD, I’m looking forward to purchasing more products in the future.
