A rain poncho made of polyester reinforced with Rip-Stop weave. The material is covered on the inside with a PVC layer, which, combined with bonded seams provides water resistance of 5000 mm/m2.
The large hood with a drawstring effectively protects your head from precipitation and wind, and the loose, roomy fit allows you to wear the poncho over any type of clothing and headgear.
Thanks to the metal holes on the edges the poncho can be used as a camping sheet and create shelter from rain and wind in the form of a canopy or makeshift tent. The ponchos can be connected to each other with snaps.
Folded in the included pouch, the poncho takes up very little space and weighs much less than a standard rain jacket.
WASP I is an innovative line of PHANTOMLEAF® CIV-TEC® camouflage patterns designed specifically for MIL-TEC®. PHANTOMLEAF® camouflage patterns are created through advanced digital image analysis of the terrain in which the variant is designed to provide camouflage. The algorithm used also takes motion and other variables into account, making the patterns well adaptive over a wide range of conditions. At the same time, PHANTOMLEAF® camouflages are distinctive enough to guarantee good identification of "one's-another" within a group of soldiers on the battlefield.
The WASP I Z1B variant will work best in rocky areas with low vegetation cover, such as tundra or parts of mountains above the tree line. It will also find use in those cities and industrial sites where concrete and steel structures predominate. It also retains its effectiveness with partial snow cover.

Despite bad opinions about this company, I decided to buy something from them again because of the camouflage (phantomleaf shared the pattern with only two companies, including mil-tec). To my surprise, I'm not disappointed. After sealing the seams on the hood, the poncho does not leak, it's very large, and the buttons look sturdy. However, the pouch fell apart immediately – the seams ripped the first time I used it. Apart from the weak pouch and lack of sealed seams, the poncho is really comfortable. For better convenience, I recommend waterproofing it with a spray (the material is waterproof but not hydrophobic, and during a heavy downpour it might let water through over time) and securing the seams. Then, for this price, you get good protection from the rain for yourself and your backpack. Additionally – I am over 180 cm tall and the poncho reaches a bit below my knees, so it’s also worth protecting your trousers and shoes, otherwise your calves and feet might get wet.

A decent poncho at a good price. The material is durable and sturdy. The WASP I Z3A camouflage is very effective. Once unfolded, it can also be used as a small tarp or a temporary shelter canopy.
-
The camouflage is really excellent. It protects perfectly against rain, which is crucial (sometimes you get slight condensation on your back). It also retains warmth well. However, it is quite heavy and after about two hours of wearing you can really feel it.
-
Great poncho, provides excellent protection against heavy rain. Carefully made, rubberised on the underside and without defects. I am satisfied with the purchase. I recommend it to those undecided – it’s worth its price.
-
The quality of workmanship is really very good. Although it's neither the cheapest nor the most expensive model, it serves its purpose. The cover makes it easy to fold and pack the poncho into the backpack.
-
A durable poncho made from coated material. Its actual waterproofing surpasses other ponchos and most tarps. It performs well during heavy rainfall and can be used as a groundsheet under a tarp without worry of damage. The weight is relatively high, but it's a reasonable compromise for its sturdiness. I definitely recommend both the product and the Militaria.pl shop.
-
The camouflage from Mil-Tec is really impressive! The poncho is carefully and solidly stitched. I have already tested it during heavy rain and it protected perfectly against moisture. I definitely recommend it, even though the price is quite high.
-
Very good quality poncho, solidly made from rubberised material. It should last a long time. 100% waterproof. When folded, it’s a bit heavy, but it's worth having a durable product that will be reliable during a downpour.
-
A solid poncho made according to the old US Army military specification. It is indeed twice as heavy as standard models, but its waterproofness and durability far surpass the lighter versions. It will work well again and again as a groundsheet under a tarp or as a makeshift bivvy. I definitely recommend this product and the Militaria.pl shop.
-
Durable poncho with modern camouflage. Although it is heavier than most products of this type, it offers complete waterproofness, protecting even during the heaviest downpours. During summer rains, the weight of the poncho keeps it from sticking to the body, unlike lighter models. I recommend both the product and the Militaria.pl store.
-
After testing in the rain, I can confirm that the poncho effectively protects against water and wind – it doesn’t soak through. However, it does get quite warm inside when you’re moving, but that’s the trade-off. I recommend it.
-
A solid poncho made from rip-stop fabric, perfect for outdoor activities, offering effective protection from rain and wind. The lightweight and breathable material provides comfort, and the reinforced structure increases durability. It's versatile, easy to pack, and can also be used as an emergency shelter or groundsheet for a tent. However, some users may find it a bit uncomfortable.
-
A very functional and versatile poncho. It worked excellently as a canopy in a mobile photography hide during heavy rainfall and also during the winter thaw. I also used it as a wall for the tarp to close it from the back.
-
Very good poncho at an attractive price. Well-made and tested in the rain – it really doesn’t soak through. When folded, it takes up a bit of space and is slightly heavy, but it’s worth having a durable product for when you need it. Definitely recommend buying.
