Product description

The current issue one-man tent of the US Army! Others can only dream of such luxury palaces for one soldier only. Really well made, used, and not very militaristic thanks to the UCP camo!

  • One-man tent
  • Waterproof, insectproof
  • Weight about 3 kg / 6.6 lbs.
  • Used but serviceable!

ICS - Improved Combat Shelter

Comprises of two parts, the inner tent, and the outer rain fly. Pitching the tent is very easy, just stick the aluminum poles in the holes and the thing pops up. In addition to the sleeping space, there's also a little porch for your boots and rucksack. Both parts can be used separately too!

The tent is completely insectproof thanks to the solid floor and very tight mesh. You can also zip up the nylon doors and these coupled with the rainfly make the tent "blacked out" so no light comes in or out. A very good feature in military use.

Jan-u-wine US army stuff

Yeah, these are ex-US Army kit made by ORC Industries in USA. In used condition: there's some wear here and there, but everything works. There might be a small hole or some on the insect net, if youre picky you should check these are repair them as encountered. Otherwise just pop it up and go campin'. One gripe: these have been packed for some time and have a strong nylon odour. We recommend striking the tent up and letting it air out for a while!

My tent initially had a lot of defaults but customer care at Varusteleka helped to take care of that!

Knowing this is surplus I expect some wear and tare but when I staked this it was very sticky inside and smelled like the user has taken a shit or vomited and never bothered to clean it. I don’t know if I’ll be able to actually use it. Shame since the fabric is intact and otherwise in good shape. One would expect this to be at least somewhat inspected.
