The Plash Palatka is hands down one of my all time favorite pieces of gear. It's traditional and sturdy as hell, fairly light weight, and comes pretty waterproof/water resistant even without waxing (not sure what they've been treated with, but something has been impregnated).

In comes the Plash Palatka It's a 6'圆' square canvas shelter half with a hood on the corner, leather grommets, and wooden toggles for buttons. The cape itself is similar to most other military issued shelters, such as the German Zeltbahn. They would often fill the coat with belongings or spare ammo wrapped inside for extra storage as a makeshift ammo bandolier. These would usually be carried across the shoulder like a bandolier as shown on the first soldier above, this is also how they would carry their Shinel (Greatcoat) in the summer, they would carry them wrapped up into a fold with leather straps tying it up. In the Soviet period, the supply of officers and enlisted personnel in infantry units of the Red Army were issued with the cape/cloak in 1936, this included the cloth cape measuring 180 × 180 cm, a folding rack, rope and tent stakes.
