SKU
BU-1THATARP3X3
The versatile, breathable rain cover from Bushmen prevents condensation from forming on the inside. It can not only be used as a waterproof rain cover, but also protects against heat and cold thanks to its silver coating on one side. Depending on which side is facing the sun or the body, it prevents body heat from being released or the room underneath from heating up too much.
The special feature of this approx. 3 x 3 meter tarp is the coating. The Bushmen tarp is not only waterproof like any rain cover, the Thermotarp is also breathable and has an insulating layer on one side. Thanks to the air permeability, condensation cannot form on the inside of the tarpaulin.
The upper side of the Thermotarp is olive green and absorbs the sun's UV rays wonderfully, while the underside is silver and reflects the heat. This means that the heat from the sun's rays is transferred downwards and you are nice and warm when lying in the hammock under the Thermotarp. The thermal conductivity of the Bushmen Thermotarp is 40 times lower than sand and around 20 times lower than that of grass, so it keeps you wonderfully warm when used as a floor mat.
If you want to protect yourself from the heat, use the Thermotarp with the silver reflective side facing upwards. This reflects the sun's rays and ensures that the space underneath doesn't heat up as much.
The Bushmen Thermotarp can be set up in a variety of ways using the 19 loops. When set up as a tent, it offers more space than a tent of the same weight, with room for 3 to 4 people. An additional option is to use the rain canopy as a hammock. With the coated side facing inwards (warms and possibly saves a sleeping bag), folded once in the middle and fastened at the ends with ropes, the tarpaulin serves as a 1.5 meter wide and 3 meter long hammock. The reflective layer helps to dry wet clothing more quickly and can be used as a signal mat in emergencies. Campers also like to use the Thermo Tarp as a heat shield on a tent. If the tarp is placed over a tent with the silver-coated side facing upwards, the sun is reflected and it stays cooler inside the tent.
The Bushmen Thermo Tarp is versatile and protects against both cold and heat. The positive properties of the reflective layer can be used in both cold and hot temperatures. This makes the Bushmen Thermo Tarp much more than just a simple rain cover. The well-made tarp is supplied in a practical storage bag with carrying handles.
