Description
*This is an aftermarket poncho, not an authentic USGI one.
This is a heavy duty poncho from MIL-SPEC Plus. It is rubberized on the inside and is noticeably thicker than most other aftermarket ponchos. These aren’t as thick as USGI Ponchos, but are about the thickest aftermarket ponchos we’ve been able to find. So durability wise, these are fairly solid. It is oversized to fit over yourself and your pack. The grommets on the corners allow you to make a shelter easily by either combining two to make a 2-man shelter, or just using one for an individual shelter. The hood in the center has a drawstring closure and there are string already attached to the grommets with a lark’s head knot to make shelter craft even easier. The poncho includes a stuff sack for easy transport, and is very packable. Overall this is a great heavy duty rain layer that will stand the test of time, and doubles as a great shelter.
Instructions on Poncho state you can button snap the poncho together to form a sleeping bag cover. The orientation of the snaps DOES NOT allow that. The snaps allow for a closed poncho, but not a full length sleeping bag cover. You can still use this as a sleeping bag cover, but it will not secure closed over a sleeping bag.

“Woodland” camo is more similar to British DPM than US Woodland camo. See pictures for details.

It’s a good poncho but due to the snap configuration it is incompatible with the poncho liner. There is not way to properly snap it together to make the bed roll.
