Very solid poncho from Mil-Tec at a fantastic price. Excellent quality, hood, ripstop material, and waterproofness – everything you need. Plus, it's lightweight.
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 negative opinions about this company, I decided to buy something from them again because of the camouflage (phantomleaf made the pattern available to only two companies, including Mil-Tec). To my surprise, I'm not disappointed. After sealing the seams on the hood, the poncho doesn't leak, it's very large, and the buttons seem sturdy. However, the cover fell apart immediately – the seams gave way at the first use. Aside from the weak cover and lack of sealed seams, the poncho is really comfortable. For greater convenience, I recommend waterproofing it with spray (the material is water-resistant but not hydrophobic and during a heavy downpour, it may eventually let water through) and securing the seams. Then, for this price, you get good protection from rain for yourself and your backpack. Additionally – I am over 180 cm tall and the poncho reaches slightly below my knees, so it's also worth protecting your pants and shoes; otherwise, you could end up with wet calves and feet.

A solid poncho at a good price. The material is durable and robust. The WASP I Z3A camouflage is very effective. When unfolded, it can also serve as a small tarp or a shelter for temporary refuge.
-
The camouflage is truly excellent. It provides perfect protection against rain, which is key (sometimes you may notice a slight condensation on your back). Additionally, it holds warmth well. However, it is quite heavy and after about two hours of wearing it, you can definitely feel it.
-
Great poncho, provides excellent protection from heavy rain. Carefully made, rubberized on the inside and has no defects. I’m satisfied with the purchase. I recommend it to people who are undecided—it’s worth its price.
-
The quality of workmanship is really very good. Although it's not the cheapest or the most expensive model, it serves its purpose. The cover makes it easy to fold and pack the poncho in a backpack.
-
Durable poncho made of coated material. Its actual waterproofness surpasses other ponchos and most tarps. It will perform well during heavy rainfall and can serve as a groundsheet under a tarp without fear of damage. The weight is relatively high, but it's a trade-off for sturdiness. I definitely recommend both the product and the Militaria.pl store.

Mil-Tec's camouflage really makes an impression! The poncho is carefully and solidly made. I've already tested it during heavy rain and it protected excellently against moisture. I definitely recommend it, even though the price is quite high.
-
Very good quality poncho, well made from rubberized 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 works 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 significantly exceed those of lighter versions. It will successfully serve many times as a groundsheet under a tarp or a makeshift bivy. I definitely recommend this product and the Militaria.pl store.

Durable poncho in a modern camouflage pattern. Although it's heavier than most products of this type, it offers complete waterproofness that protects even during the most intense rainfall. During summer downpours, the weight of the poncho prevents it from sticking to the body, unlike lighter models. I recommend both the product and the Militaria.pl store.
-
After testing it in the rain, I can confirm that the poncho effectively protects against water and wind – it does not get soaked through. However, it does get quite warm inside when moving around, but that's the trade-off. I recommend it.
-
A solid poncho made from rip-stop fabric is perfect for outdoor activities, offering effective protection against rain and wind. The lightweight and breathable material ensures comfort, and the reinforced structure increases its durability. It is versatile, easy to pack, and can also serve as an emergency shelter or a groundsheet under a tent. However, some users might find it not very comfortable.
-
A very functional and versatile poncho. It worked great as a canopy in a mobile photo hide during heavy rainfall and during the winter thaw. I also used it as a tarp wall to close it from the back.
-
Very good poncho at an attractive price. Well-made, tested in the rain—it really does not leak. When folded, it takes up some space and is a bit heavier, but it’s worth having a durable product when needed. I definitely recommend buying it.
