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.
Mil-Tec offers a compact and lightweight emergency poncho. In urgent situations, it helps maintain up to 90% of body heat, reducing the risk of hypothermia, particularly around the head and shoulders.
The poncho's exterior features a bright silver color to enhance 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 right 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 Mil-Tec Survival NRC foil - Silver for my husband at the front back in 2023, to use under the Helikon Swagman Roll Basic poncho - Olive Green. Since then, it has been used many times in situations where there was no chance for an additional heat source. It doesn't take up space in a backpack or add weight, which is crucial for soldiers. I wholeheartedly recommend it! Thank you to the store for the high quality products and professional service!

I'm giving it 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'll be fine. The material is very thin and seems like it could tear easily. It makes a lot of rustling noise, which makes it harder to talk to someone walking next to you. The poncho is short—I’m 180 cm tall and it barely covers my buttocks, so if it rains, 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 wear it and not worry about getting cold, restricted hands, or limited 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 for emergencies.
-
Excellent product. Much more comfortable than ordinary thermal blankets. It’s a great replacement for a heavy poncho. I definitely recommend having it as part of your basic equipment.

Product as described, I haven’t used it yet. I put it in my evacuation backpack. I hope I won’t need it.
-
A good alternative to a heavy poncho, it's worth having even if no rain is forecast—if it does rain, it will work without any problem.
-
Good product, much more practical than standard 'blankets', although they are also useful, especially when covering another person. I recommend it. It works great on every trip, as long as you don't need to hide. It's one of those things you really need to have as basic equipment.
-
2 in 1 functionality: it can be used as protection against hypothermia if needed and as protection from rain. Highly recommended.

The product fulfills its function.
