The Gear Locker tests the 0241 TBC on the field in this lates blogpost... "I am impressed with the 0241 TBC as it is a practical piece of gear with many uses besides its intended use. As far as using it as a Backpack cover it works well to keep the rain, sand and other elements off and out of the gear in your backpack. It also works well transforming my original camouflage pattern to another pattern that will be more effective in different environments at different times of the year.
