According to operators' reviews (from the practice of use) SPP-1 "Rain"
- slept at the exits - in December / February (forest, mountains, sand).
- protects from wind and snow
- if you zip up / lace up (that is, create something like a cocoon) - a kind of cocoon / greenhouse is created (breathed "there" - and you sit warm) About how not to "stir up" is a separate topic. even at close to 0 temperature
- thanks to the air gap - let's just say ... it prevents the kidneys from getting cold (winter, off-season)
- under conditions of use in "sands" - I don't remember any creeping muck climbing on it (which cannot be said about simple sleeping bags) - maybe the bastards are afraid of the smell of rubber (?)
- in the same place, in the sands - they tried to make (though at the base) - alembic - a la camel thorn in the SPP, it was hermetically "battened down" and in the sun - there was still a small condensation of moisture.
- at reconnaissance exits, they made a shuttle from the SPP (they covered the frame), rafts, and from several sewn together - a tent with an inflated floor.
About "protection" from punctures - already written - elementary - an ordinary raincoat-tent under the SPP - and there will be happiness (mountains, forest).
Rafting on it is normal (about 20 kilometers - I kept it)
The cover can be used:
- like a bucket (!)
- you can sit on it (if inflated) like on a pillow during the day and lie in ambush (especially in wet weather - under the chest), it is - just - a pillow
- it can be used as a sniper roller
- the cover can be used when equipping a stash or a sealed bookmark
