    That looks too good to be true!
    What are the dimensions and weight/quality?

    As for quality nothing to compare it with but i'm well chuffed at that price seen same photo on other websites £30+ but for under £15 good as I said for newbies to practce using and those short of readies.

    Someone else has ordered after me, I accidently ordered four, and it said there were three available, so I didn't get the last one, its not my fault, it wasn't me!

    Got my bashas, they arrived yesterday.
    They seem excellent for the price, british pattern DPM, ridge loops with strengthening and corners strengthened too, press studs and a bag to put it in!
    Ideal size too plenty long enough for a hammock.
    The weight and strength seems comparable to an army poncho and it has an inner waterproofing that seems like rubber type material, Ideal for what I wanted and an excellent price.
    One has been hijacked by my five year old over his bunk bed already!
    Cheers for the heads up Nemesis
