The poncho really does not let water through, as I confirmed during a storm in the Świętokrzyskie Mountains. It is very light, which is a big advantage, but during heavy rainfall and high temperature, negative pressure builds up under the poncho, and the material may stick to your skin. Despite this, I recommend the product and the shop Militaria.pl.
Badger Outdoor Rain Poncho Ripstop Olive
Rain poncho with practical adjustable with drawstring hood. A lightweight, sturdy and multi-purpose piece of gear that is always worth having on hand. It will be perfect both in the woods and in the car glove box or bicycle pannier, ready for sudden rainfall.
Waterproof polyester with PU coating, Rip-Stop weave
The model is manufactured from durable polyester. The use of Rip-Stop technology makes the material highly resistant to tears and mechanical damage. The fabric has been additionally coated with a polyurethane (PU) layer for better water resistance at 5000 mm/m2.
4 metal eyelets and snap buttons, possibility to connect 2 ponchos
The poncho is equipped with four metal eyelets and snaps, which allow you to unzip it and turn it into a temporary tent. The snaps also allow you to connect two ponchos, providing a larger protective surface. This is a useful feature, especially on longer trips, where any extra space will come in handy.
Lightweight design, small size when folded
Great for both short and longer outdoor trips. Effectively protects against rain, while remaining extremely lightweight. It will easily cover an adult with a backpack. When folded, it takes up little space, and its weight is much lower than classic rain jackets.
Set elements
The set includes a functional pouch with a drawstring, which makes it easy to carry and store the poncho, protecting the rest of your luggage from getting accidentally wet.

Poncho tested during a mountain trip. So far the best I’ve had – I didn’t sweat during heavy rain and it dried quickly afterwards. I already have two and always carry one with me. I recommend it.
-
Great poncho for changing a tyre during a downpour (not just ordinary rain, but a proper downpour, when the water is coming down almost horizontally). An extra bonus: the bright colours mean no one bothers you or asks strange questions.
-
I've used it for over a year; it's light and compact. It doesn't let water through even in heavy rain. A big plus is the loops in the corners, which allow you to make a canopy or shelter for your equipment. The downside is the light green colour, which is quite conspicuous.
-
Great for rainy weather – it doesn’t soak through and doesn’t tear. I made a tent out of it, which worked well. I could suggest a price reduction of 10 zloty, but all in all, the purchase is worth its price.
-
Great poncho! Folds into a very small size, has an adjustable hood, is light and convenient to put on. The eyelets, which let you unfold the poncho as a rain shield, are also a cool idea.
-
A light, waterproof and practical option, ideal for survival enthusiasts and travellers. You can use it to make a tent and it covers a backpack without any problem, as it’s big enough.
-
The poncho does its job. It doesn't leak and efficiently protects against rainwater. It's big enough to comfortably put over a backpack – useful during hikes. I recommend it.
-
It's a good poncho – it protects well against rain, and can also serve as a mat to sit on or to put your backpack on, instead of putting it down on wet grass. The workmanship is of a high standard.
-
Unfortunately, I am very disappointed—the colour is not very discreet, it’s very shiny and reflects light. It doesn’t provide proper protection during heavy rain. At this price, you can find much better ponchos. This one looks and performs like a very cheap product from China. A completely failed purchase.
-
A very pleasant raincoat—it’s lightweight, easy to fold and of the right size. Additional plus for the holes, which allow you to convert the poncho into a shelter roof using cords.
-
It serves its function—it protects against water. Perfect both for hiding in the forest and as an unusual costume. It's lightweight and handy, so you can easily take it anywhere. I have no complaints.
-
A very functional product – a simple design that works. After two days walking in the mountains in the rain, it worked flawlessly. Durable, comfortable and resistant. I recommend it for both short and longer trips. The price is also attractive.
-
A good mid-range poncho. I haven't tested it in very heavy downpours, but in lighter and moderate rain it worked well. I can recommend it, but now I would choose the Helikon poncho (it has more eyelets, better material, camouflage). However, the Badger poncho is light, compact, lets you reach your backpack without taking it off and works as an emergency shelter.
-
Excellent poncho that, when folded, takes up very little space in a rucksack, so you can always have it with you if needed. I recommend it to everyone for mountain escapades.
