Finally, a near-USGI quality poncho without a crazy price
I've been looking forever for a decent USGI style and quality poncho, and I've finally found one that doesn't break the bank.Over the years, I've bought many supposedly USGI-style ponchos, and in almost every case, I was disappointed. Cheap snaps, flimsy materials, dubious waterproofing, ripstop that wasn't, I've seen it all. Real USGI ponchos are hard to find, and they are expensive when you do find them. I guess if I had just forked over the cash at the beginning of this process, I would have had the ponchos I used in the service from the get-go, without all the hassle I went through trying to find a good poncho for what I think they are worth- about 25 bucks.But, my search is finally ending with this poncho. Before buying this, I read some reviews and noted them. Some said the head hole was too small. Others didn't like the stuff sack. Some said they were too shiny. Well, I took this with a grain of salt and ordered one. I just finished looking the poncho over (in OCP pattern), and it's pretty darn close to the USGI poncho I knew and loved (sort of).First, the size is close. I think the USGI poncho was 86 inches long, and this one is 90, which is great. It is four inches narrower, but I can live with that. This will 100% work for a 550-cord poncho hooch, the lightest weight and most versatile shelter known to man.Second, the camo is acceptable, if not dead-on, for OCP. It'll work for most environments.Third, I don't think this is much "shinier" than a USGI unit, which, by the way, is plenty shiny when it gets rained on.Fourth, this should do just as well to keep the rain off when you sleep. Lousy ponchos do not have the rubberized lining that is the USGI's secret sauce, and this one does.Fifth, the materials seem of excellent quality, right down to the snaps, which are brass and not cheap plastic. The eyelets are brass, too. Very nice.Sixth, I like the stuff sack. Some do not- they say it is too tight. It actually works best if you don't try to fold the poncho. Just jam it in. It fits.Seventh, the head hole, while not as roomy as USGI, fits over my large head with no issues. The hood isn't as roomy as USGI, but I really don't plan on wearing a helmet with this on, which is why the USGI one is so stinkin' big.Therefore my search is over. This is a pretty awesome poncho for half the price of other OK ones. You can use it as rain gear or an improvised shelter. At this price, buy a few of them and leave them in the car.Recommend.

Waterproof
I am 5’11” 220 lbs and It fits me just fine. It pulled over my head no problems. Material similar to Rip stop. It’s raining here so I got to try it out. Water runs off as it should. Plenty of grommets and strings with this. The strings are light duty but replaceable if someone was going to use this for like an impromptu shelter. Definitely long enough to cover yourself even with a hiking pack on.

Looks good
Looks as described and quite large to cover pack out outer equipment!Strong plastic smell which isn’t good for hunting!Overall it will keep me dry and concealed!

Kept me dry during a three day hike in the rain
Pancho performed amazingly during a wet hike through the Missouri wilderness. Plenty of room to cover my pack and myself. It not only kept me dry but warm as well. Well-made button snaps kept it from flapping around. I’ll never go hiking without this.

This is a first-class poncho
I'm really impressed with the quality of this poncho. The snaps under the sleeves is a nice touch. Don't know the 'mil' thickness, but it's thick. Can't wait to try this baby out.

Skip it
Run of the mill sub par production. It works as a poncho but not durable, and the materials will soon fail with how they affixed the grommets and buttons. I've had other ponchos made the same way all fail as well. Forget using this As a makeshift poncho shelter more than a few times. I keep this one around but don't expect high quality function like Bushcraft or military ponchos

Ligero y práctico
A pesar de ser un material muy delgado es bastante resistente, ademas que sus costuras lo fortalecen mas, tiene buena tecnología, se escurre y seca bastante rapido, vale la pena.

Impressive
I was expecting it to be made of that rubbery material, or at least have that coating on it. Not exactly sure what the coating is, but I wasn't sticking to it when I was damp. It is thicker than I thought it would have been. Hopefully that translates into a more robust slicker. Head hole is smaller than I expected. That's okay, it means less rain is going to get down the hole. Worked well in light rain, haven't had it out in a downpour yet. Overall I'm happy with it, especially at that price.
