When folded, the poncho takes up very little space and weighs almost nothing. It’s good to keep it in your backpack as an emergency hooded jacket that provides a bit of warmth, protects you from the rain, and makes you visible from a distance. Walking in this kind of poncho, which is better fitted to the body, is certainly also more comfortable than wrapping yourself in a regular thermal blanket.
Lightweight and compact emergency poncho from Mil-Tec. In emergency situations, it allows you to retain up to 90% of human body temperature, thus preventing hypothermia in the head and shoulder area.
The outside of the poncho is made in a striking silver color to increase visibility.

The poncho is very lightweight, so it doesn’t add any extra burden, and when folded it’s about the size of a phone. It does its job well, and you can feel the difference straight away. I haven’t tested it in the rain yet, but it seems that this kind of material shouldn’t soak through. The downside is that it rustles quite a lot.

I bought the NRC Mil-Tec Survival - Silver foil for my husband for the front line back in 2023, to use it under the Helikon Swagman Roll Basic poncho - Olive Green. Since then, it has been used many times in conditions where there was no chance for an additional heat source. It doesn't take up space in the backpack nor increases its weight, which is crucial for soldiers. I honestly recommend it! Thank you to the shop for the high quality of products and professional service!

I give 3 stars, because I haven't tested it in the rain yet, so I don't know if it's waterproof, but I believe it will be fine. The material is very thin and seems as if it could tear easily. It rustles a lot, which makes it harder to talk to someone walking beside you. The poncho is short – I'm 180 cm tall and it barely covers my buttocks, so in case of rain, my underwear and legs will probably get wet.
-
It's a thermal blanket in the form of a rain poncho. It's more practical than a regular thermal blanket because you can put it on and not worry about getting cold, restricted hands or lack of freedom of movement :).
-
Small and easy to pack – you can throw it in the car or backpack depending on the situation, just in case. The price matches the quality, it's worth having as a backup.
-
Brilliant product. Far more comfortable than regular thermal blankets. Perfectly replaces a heavy poncho. I definitely recommend having it in your basic kit.
-
The product is as described, I haven't used it yet. I put it in my evacuation backpack. I hope it won't be needed.
-
A good alternative to a heavy poncho, it's worth having even if rain isn't forecast – if it does rain, it will work without a problem.
-
Good product, much more practical than standard 'blankets', although they also have their uses, especially when covering another person. I recommend it. Works great on every trip, as long as you don't need to hide. It's one of those items that you should have in your basic equipment.
-
2-in-1 functionality: can be used as protection against hypothermia if needed and as a rain cover. Highly recommended.
-
The product fulfils its function.
