German Olive Drab Poncho

After purchasing one of these for myself I purchased another for my daughter. They are the best all round wet weather gear I have encountered. They are robust and completely waterproof while being big enough to cover you and your pack. I have used one already as a tarp and ground sheet and it has held up well. The only down side is they are heavy, but the durability and versatility of the poncho more than makes up for this.

Robust piece of kit that can be used as a tent, ground sheet, tarp or even a poncho. First ex army purchase that has brought smiles to the faces of all the family - its that good. Get one.

Writing reviews is not my strong point ,but...
I have used this out in the bush walking under a steady down pour it kept me dry, bar the bottom of my legs ended getting a bit wet ,
I did not sweat underneath that much probably due to it being really cold as it was starting to snow on the tops

compared to the miltec poncho that sell for a extra $20 (I own one ) .I'd recommend the genuine issue hands down over the miltec
as its better built and only 200 grams heavier and
folds down nearly as compact.
using a gotcha strap works really well to scrunch it up tight as .

Perfect poncho for my needs, I do extreme off grid hiking.

Good size, covers just about everything, ie me and the bike,. .no holes that i can see and all the press studs are good. All in all a great article for all bad weather situations.
