Hungarian M49 shelter half, surplus
Just when you thought all ancient Cold War-era stockpiles had been depleted we got a lot of old shelter halves. This Hungarian model is actually quite fancy, with two armholes, a proper drawcord hood, and everything! Can be used as a small single man shelter or rain cape and by buttoning two or more of these together you can build all sorts of bigger tent-like structures.
- Waiting for restock, no estimated time for arrival. With surplus the restock date is unknown due to sometimes poor availability. Request restock notification and we will email you as soon as this product is available.

The material is proper old timey tent canvas, probably 100% cotton.
Used military surplus
These have probably seen decades of field use which shows: small holes and repairs are common, even some eyelets may be missing. Still, for the price, these are pretty good, and with a little patching up and waterproofing, these can easily be restored to their former glory.

Tough canvas, mine was very new, had a little rust on some of the grommet but was most likely from warehouse storage or something. Otherwise looks in perfect unused condition on both halves I received.
A little tight but actually not a problem at all for laying down in two halfs buttoned together. A one half is actually the box end used for the foot (or the head, either which you lay out sleeping position) end of your lay spot. So a single half you might be able to curl yourself up like a question mark to lay in. Two halves buttoned you can totally stretch out to sleep.
Rolls up nicely to strap around the outside of my 35L backpack. Very solid as a poncho, excellent camo. I could probaly make a toggle skirt to tie in around the bottom to raise the height but this tent design is perfect once you use it a few times and get a feel for its simplicity.

Arrived in like-new condition. A few grommets were replaced with brass ones.
Dye is faded a bit, so it now looks more suited for fall foliage.
Works as it should, but I will re-wax it anyways.
