Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Light durable poncho,multiple uses. Helikon-tex quality and a great price with fast shipping.

My favorite piece of gear. Works perfectly with a swagman roll and takes up very little space when packed away. Combination is very effective as we are coming into autumn.

Strong material, packs smaller than other tarps for hammocking. Can be used as a tarp or shelter, in addition to poncho. Mates up with the surplus ponchin liner nicely.

Wore this on a recent backpacking trip with some expected rain. Close to the us military poncho. Kept me dry and didn't fall apart like other cheaper ponchos.

Cons

It looks like the inner water-proof coating had melted and became a gooey and sticky substance. It’s also smaller then the standard usgi poncho so it doesn’t fit the standard liner.

I needed something that packed down smaller and was lighter to carry this has done that very well

I like the pattern better than traditional woodland but that is personal and regional preference
