A very solid poncho from Mil-Tec at a fantastic price. Great quality, hood, ripstop material and waterproof – everything you need. Plus, it's lightweight.
The durable nylon rain poncho guarantees effective protection against rain and moisture. The RipStop technology ensures a lightweight design while maintaining high resistance to tears. The inner side is coated with a rubberized layer, further enhancing waterproofing and protecting the user even in demanding weather conditions.
All seams of the poncho are carefully sealed, effectively preventing moisture from penetrating the fabric joints. The hood, equipped with a practical drawstring, allows for a customized fit to the shape of the head, increasing protection against wind and precipitation. The edges feature metal grommets and snap fasteners, enabling different ways of use and allowing two identical models to be joined together to create a larger protective area.
Thanks to its universal size, the poncho effectively covers both the user and their backpack, making it suitable for both short and long outdoor expeditions. Its thoughtful design also allows for a quick transformation into an emergency shelter—simply unfold the material and suspend it using the included mounting cords.
When folded, it takes up minimal space, making it easy to fit into the side pocket of a backpack.

Camouflage Woodland
Woodland, also known as U.S. Woodland or M81, is a classic camouflage pattern introduced to the US Armed Forces in the early 1980s, based on the earlier ERDL camouflage. For over two decades, it remained the standard pattern used by the US military until the end of the first decade of the 21st century. It is characterized by large, irregular patches in shades of green, brown, beige, and black, which provide good camouflage and deformation properties, especially in wooded areas. Thanks to its effectiveness and global recognition, it has spawned numerous variations that have found their way into over 60 uniform formations around the world. The pattern has also had a huge impact on popular culture, shifting from military applications to everyday fashion.

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.
