British Army Basha/Tarp tested in heavy rain last night!

I have used a British Army Basha for years with no problems. Also use a fox basha but the price of them has gone up and would not recommend it for that reason. Strikeforce supples are selling the brit basha for £30

Wow now I see why they call you Kit! Well that's great Im in the process of experimenting with kit but it would be great if i could just settle with one or two things that work. Il defo have a look at some of those tarps you mentioned, ive seen the Lavu tents before on ebay.

Hehe, kind of appropriate I guess . Im not as much if a kit tart as I appear just accumulated alot of gear over the years (honest ). If I could only have 2 tarps I'd have the TW Sargasso for the hammock and a DD 3x3m for everything else.

I have used an army issue basha extensively, in everything from torrential rain to 6+ inches of snow, and not a single problem so i'd suggest you have a cheap rip off unfortunately!

yeah unfortunately, seems a bit coincidental that my desert dpm one also leaked. It would be nice to see an authentic one to conpare to.

Both my desert issue ones have the main seam sealed, not by me. One very neatly. It's on the outer side, the side witht he middle loop. The wide green tape and loops are on the underside. Pic shows the sealing below.
