I was wondering whether to buy the more expensive Helikon model or this product. Since my friends have the one from Helikon, I decided to test this version and, to my surprise, the quality of the material and workmanship are almost the same. Additionally, a plus is the zipper by the hood, fastenings and eyelets allowing the use as a tarp, etc. I recommend it!

Woodland Camouflage
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.

I am very satisfied with this purchase. The poncho protects well against rain, is the right size, so even with thicker clothing it doesn't get soaked, and it also dries very quickly. The practical case is also a plus.
