Review: Well made, versatile piece of gear - Let me preface this review by saying I have seen some negative reviews from people comparing this to a US Army issue poncho. I would say it compares favorably to the real deal, aside from IR signature......and if you're worried about your IR signature you've got bigger issues than what poncho you're wearing. For the record, I own this poncho from USGI Industries, along with two Helikon-Tex ponchos, a stasher poncho from EMS, two different actual ORC Industries US Army issue ponchos, an Angolan military poncho, and a PSSLE from Wilderness Innovation (yes, I like ponchos). When it comes to the best of the bunch, the Wilderness Innovation kinda stands above the others. That being said, it's a hand made poncho from a small shop in Utah, so that's not surprising. What IS surprising, however, is how good this particular poncho from USGI industries is. This poncho is well made. The stitching is done well. The material is high quality. ALL of the seams are taped, and taped well. The grommets and snaps are all very high quality, and have been very robust. I tend to use this poncho a lot as it is roughly the same dimensions as an actual US Army issue poncho (same basic size, shape, etc), but substantially lighter. The US issue woobie ties right up no problem (the MARPAT woobie you see in one of the pictures is a USMC issue woobie made by Winston Salem Industries for the Blind). I have used it as a shelter more times than I can count, with zero failures. I have worn it in the rain and been completely dry. Out of every poncho I own, this is the one I grab the most believe it or not. Even the woobies they make are really nice (and substantially softer than the actual issue ones). All in all, for the price, I wouldn't hesitate to buy this poncho again. Review: Good quality, extremely versatile, and they fit in my Emergency Bag - I read some of the negative reviews and concede that these ponchos may be a little thinner and less rugged than genuine military issue, but they're also lighter, more compact and a fraction of the cost. Which for occasional backpacking, make them work better for me. I like that they are rip-stop and wider than most ponchos, (a full 62 inches), so in addition to keeping you dry while you're hiking, you can stretch a bit of para-cord between 2 trees and make a tent , or snap the two sides together to create a rainproof bivy over your sleeping bag. I bought 2 and they snap together beautifully to create a 2-person emergency bivy for my wife and I. My only disappointment is that there are no snaps at the bottom to close the bivy. If I can find 4 to 6 of the 2-sided snaps I'll add them myself. Or in an emergency, duct tape the bottoms together. Living in Colorado, I keep a small day-pack in my car at all times for those spontaneous hikes when we're driving through the mountains. 2 of these ponchos fit easily in my bag, along with packable down coats, thermolite underwear and a few other survival essentials. No one plans to get lost of have an emergency in the wilderness, but if you do, you'll be very glad you invested in these ponchos. If they ever offer them in Survival orange, I'll buy them again. ## Features - MULTI-USE PONCHO: Stay dry under extreme conditions with this versatile rain poncho that features multiple ways to protect you from the outdoors and provide comfort while camping, hiking, hunting, fishing, marine, or in dire emergency survival situations - MILITARY STYLE CONSTRUCTION: Based on field gear technology used by the US Military, this poncho is crafted from 210T high density Rip-Stop Polyester with polyurethane coated fabric that achieves an outstanding 3000mm water resistance rating. 210T fabric minimizes crinkle and rub noise for hunting or covert tactical operations. - MEASUREMENTS: This rain poncho is approximately 62 inches wide by 86 inches total length and is wide enough to fit large backpacks.
