The camo design is OK & the price is OK & the amount of material is OK. But the dye runs when it gets wet. I thought I had bumped my knee on a burned lighter knot, at first, then saw a big, black smudge on my expensive GoreTex jacket. I was hunting early morning in a misting rain that had started during the night. I did not see the dye stains until the sun came up. When I started taking down the burlap my hands started turning black. I've used the Hunter's Specialties burlap and it did not run. I left the Allen Company burlap in the woods.

Wrapped my UTV in 4 bits of this canvas. Three deer came buy and spent minutes examining the stand (my wife kept whispering). I was out for pig, but 3 different deer came up and stood in my crosshairs at 40 yards. The 4x4 buck even walked toward the canvas-covered UTV for 10 or 15 yards before bolting off. I had him in my cross hairs for 10 to 15 second but could not take him out of season. This burlap really diffuses the outlines of a bright red Polaris Ranger. A great investment, or so the deer think.

I purchase this item for a deer blind for my son only to find out that it smells like some type of industrial chemical probably due to the paint that will rub off on all of your clothing if it gets wet. Now being a hunter I know who this is something that a deer has never smelled in the woods before!! There is no way that I would ever use this out on the deer stand. Thats crazy! I'm not sure what the manufacturing company was thinking when they created this but I'm not sure the company is really in tune with a hunter's need. I could of slapped some latex paint on here and made it look better, last longer and not have the same smell. I'm just glad I'm only out about 10 bucks from this minor investment for deer hunting and maybe I can use this for a duck blind.

This item can be used for seveal applications. The cut size you will find allows one to modify the material in about any form you may desire. With a little imagination you too will be delighted with this product.

Item received as advertised, Item has a strong smell not good if used for hunting (blind purposes) upon washing it became extremly wrinkled and discolored somewhat, had to have the edges sewed so it would not come apart.
I would buy something else if intended use was for hunting blind purposes.
