Reviews of the material Gretta.
Last summer I bought myself a tent for recreation, made of this material. I used it during the summer about 10 times, including in bad weather conditions. The tent showed itself excellently. It was also easy to wash and put away until next summer. (Dmitry)

In conclusion, it should be noted that this fabric is one of the favorites in the field of tourism, fishing and various industrial organizations. It does not require special care, but at the same time it is quite practical. And most importantly, it has a low cost in the markets.
It looks like some kind of fabric, even mosquitoes bite through it. About overalls up to 3.5 thousand.
In short: this is another rock bottom, the only thing worse is probably the ubiquitous junk stores.
in detail: if you want to throw away money or finance evil, buy this. how many resources are spent on this bottom, it's just kaput. just like that, "the mice cried, pricked themselves, but continued to eat the cactus". if on a general basis in trade in Rush, then MadinRush overalls up to 3.5 thousand are the bottom, the sewing is idiotic, statuesque, "afraid to stand, hands at the seams", fabrics like "Greta", "Gerda", "Temp", this is loose thick gauze, right with gaps through, liquid, probably from the word "Jew", that's exactly it, the impregnation is also just plain Jewish, meager. through everything, and air, and liquids, and dust, dirt. and they have been doing this in Rush, for years, probably in the zones, probably the Ukrops with the Americans. there is information that such overalls are issued at large enterprises, nonsense. since this bottom is of such scale, and moreover officially, because it is there "gost", "otk", then this is some kind of serious intent...
such a bottom is not needed for free, maybe only as a rag, cloth, to wipe things...
