It's a tarp!

18x24 off amazon for about $30

My friend, your entire life was leading up to that one moment.
Even at that price it's not a very good deal and the original $179 MSRP is absurd.
REI has been making a lot of weird product decisions lately and seems to be gearing their product line towards tech worker urbanites. They seem to be putting a lot more of their house-branded stuff on clearance lately so it'll be interesting to see how that works out for them.

LOL, I can't take the credit, it was most likely from an ancient fark photoshop contest or something. You just have to file these things away until they come up again

I figured at a glance, for $50 maybe it at least came with some really nice convenient hardware. Nope! Now you've got me hunting on amazon for these though!

In OP's defense he's just sharing with the community a significant markdown. And I will say I trust products from REI to more likely be higher quality than a random equivalent found on Amazon.
Tyvek. Just go on ebay, find a tyvek seller. Buy the 9ft by whatever feet you want for about $20
It's a ultralight tarp designed for backpacking where every oz matters. Please check any of the cottage company tarps on the market and let me know if any of them come close to the price/weight of this thing. $50 is a very good deal what it is.
To the guy who mentioned tyvek, yeah tyvek is great but also heavier. A similar 9.5'x9.5' sheet of tvek would be around 20oz vs the 12oz for the rei one. A pretty substantial difference in the world of UL backpacking.
