Most of these are in totally unissued condition, but we reserve the right to say that some examples may well be just slightly used. When you have wandered the realm long enough to wear off the water repellent treatment, you can use fabric wax! to reproof it! Romanian army surplus The fabric seems even more dense than on the Soviet equivalent. Made from very tightly woven and impregnated wind- and waterproof cotton. No other exciting details, the product is perfect.
Some of the drawcords are also more modern than others. The shape, color, and material of the toggle buttons that you can use to attach these together are also a bit different. 
Some of these have brass grommets in the corners, some have cloth reinforcements. Interior decoration guides would probably say that there are about eight different hues here but for us layfolks, these are fairly similar. The shade varies from olive green to a tad more forest-colored. The size can vary a bit because the size isn’t everything, as they say. Because we want to deliver your products as quickly as possible, we, unfortunately, cannot pick and choose a certain individual item for you. These have been made for a long time so it is natural that the details can vary. You can stash something nice in them like a golden ring that you found in some deep dungeon or old cavern. When worn as a cape, you might notice that there are ACTUAL POCKETS under the armholes on the inside. And if you button it up more tightly, you resemble more of a sad cone creature but you are better protected from exciting weather phenomena. With the more open approach, you look like a heroic elf lord. Now you can button up the front as little or as much as you like. Then you fold the opposite corner inside and button it up (the buttonholes on the corner line up with the toggle buttons on the center of the tarp). The Plash is the king of capes! When it's used as a cape, one corner works as the hood - note the drawcords that you use to tighten both the hood and the "collar". This way the contents are quite protected from potentially radioactive rain and other elements. In almost every use it's just a tad too small on its own, part of the rugged charm! You can also wrap it around your blanket, sleeping bag, or all your worldly possessions and tie the bundle on your backpack. This versatile age-old multi-blanket can be used as a groundsheet, shelter half, rain/camouflage cape, stretchers, or a top layer for sleeping bag/blanket. These old school cotton shelter halves are getting rarer by the day, so get yours now before they are gone forever. I like the idea of these better than a rustley poncho that blows around all over the place in the wind, and is at least semi-breathable compared to the poncho material.The Romanian "Plash-palatka" is just like the Soviet original but in a bit more verdant green. Intended use is going to be when I'm at my campsites to wear whilst sat around and inactive as a windproof outer layer of insulation and being waterproof would be a bonus. Nikwax/gangers route:- how durable is the treatment and how long does it realistically last? #ROMANIAN PLASH PALATKA SKIN#
If waxing does the fabric feel waxy/greasy to the tough and get a residue on skin clothing afterwards whenever you tough it? does it make the fabric hard and inflexible? I have never waterproofed anything cotton before so I am unsure what is the best route to take. do I go for something like Nikwax/Grangers cotton proof type wash in treatments or do I go down the melting wax into the fabric route. I am wanting to reproof it but am unsure of the best way to go with something like this. I understand originally they were treated with some form of waterproofing agent now being as old as it is and being sat in a warehouse for decades I doubt it would stand up to much more than a light shower. In immaculate condition considering its 30 odd years old. I got myself one of these Russian canvas rain capes dirt cheap on ebay.
