The poncho really is waterproof, as I confirmed during a storm in the Świętokrzyskie Mountains. It’s very lightweight, which is a big advantage, but during heavy rain and high temperatures, a vacuum forms under the poncho and the material may stick to the skin. Nevertheless, I recommend the product and the Militaria.pl store.
Badger Outdoor Rain Poncho Ripstop Black
Rain poncho with a practical hood with drawstring. It is a lightweight, durable and multifunctional piece of gear that’s always handy to have around. It works well in the wilderness, as well as in a car glove box or a bicycle pannier, ready for rainy weather.
Waterproof polyester with PU coating, Rip-Stop weave
The poncho is made of durable polyester. Thanks to the Rip-Stop weave, it is durable and features increased resistance to tears and mechanical damage. The material has been coated with a layer of polyurethane (PU) for greater water resistance of 5000 mm/m2.
4 metal eyelets and snap buttons, possibility to connect 2 ponchos
The model is equipped with four metal eyelets and snap buttons. This allows the poncho to be opened and hung, creating a temporary small tent. The snap buttons also allow you to combine the poncho with another identical model to obtain a larger protective area. This feature is especially useful on longer trips where every extra meter of space counts.
Lightweight design, small size when folded
The poncho works well for both shorter and longer outings. It provides excellent rain protection while being very lightweight. It easily covers an adult along with a backpack. When folded, the poncho takes up little space and weighs significantly less than a standard rain jacket.
Set elements
The set includes a practical drawstring pouch, which makes it easy to transport and safely store the poncho. It also protects the rest of your gear from accidental wetting.

Poncho tested during a mountain trip. So far, the best I’ve had – I didn’t sweat during heavy rain, and when I returned, it dried quickly. I already have two and always carry one with me. I recommend it.
-
Great poncho for changing a tire during a downpour (not just ordinary rain, but a serious downpour, when the water comes down almost horizontally). Another plus: the bright colors ensure that nobody bothers you or asks weird questions.
-
I've been using it for over a year, it's light and compact. Even in heavy rain, it doesn't leak. A big plus is the rings in the corners, which let you make a canopy or shelter for gear. The downside is the bright green color, which stands out.
-
Great for rainy weather – it doesn’t soak through or tear. I made a tent out of it, and it worked well. I could suggest a price about 10 PLN lower, but overall, the purchase was worth its price.
-
Great poncho! Packs down very small, has an adjustable hood, is light and comfortable to put on. The grommets are also a nice feature—they let you open the poncho as a rain cover.
-
Lightweight, waterproof, and practical option perfect for survival fans and travelers. You can make a tent out of it and easily cover your backpack because it’s large enough.
-
The poncho serves its purpose. It doesn’t leak and effectively protects against rainwater. It's quite large, so you can easily throw it over a backpack – useful during hikes. I recommend it.
-
It's a good poncho – it protects well against rain and can also be used as a mat to sit on or to put your backpack on instead of placing it on damp grass. The workmanship is of a high standard.
-
Unfortunately, I'm very disappointed—the color is not discreet, it's very shiny and reflects light. In heavier rain, it doesn't provide adequate protection. For this price, you can find much better ponchos. This looks and performs like a very cheap product from China. Totally missed purchase.
-
Very nice raincoat—it's lightweight, easy to fold, and has the right size. An additional advantage are the openings that allow you to turn the poncho into a shelter using cords.
-
It does its job—protects from water. Perfect both for hiding in the woods and for unusual costumes. It's light and handy, so you can take it anywhere. I have no complaints.
-
Very functional product – simple design that works. After two days of hiking in the rain in the mountains, it worked flawlessly. Durable, comfortable, and resistant. I recommend it for both short and long trips. The price is also attractive.
-
A good mid-priced poncho. I haven't tested it in very heavy rain, but it worked well in light and moderate showers. I can recommend it, but at the moment I’d prefer a Helikon poncho (it has more eyelets, better material, and camouflage). Badger’s poncho is lightweight and compact, lets you access your backpack without taking it off, and works as an emergency shelter.
-
Excellent poncho that, when folded, takes up very little space in the backpack, so you can have it with you whenever needed. Highly recommended for mountain trips.
