The orange colored tarps carried atop US vehicles for air recognition...can anyone tell me what are the dimensions for them? I am making one out of a surgical glove (for an Abrams) and would like to know how to cut it...do they have eyelets on the corners? also the exact color orange would be helpful...thanks guys!!!

This brightly colored marker is a real attention getter. Measuring 6 ft. long by 19½ in. wide. This nylon marker is fluorescent orange on one side and a hot pink color on the other. Each end has 2 tie straps and 3 snaps, and the middle has just the 2 tie straps

Metrics is easier. Take size in mm, divide by 35. Done.
