The poncho is solidly made and costs a reasonable amount of money. The material is durable and sturdy, and the WASP I Z3A camouflage pattern works great. When unfolded, the poncho can serve as a small tarp or a shelter roof for temporary cover. I definitely recommend it.
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 hem 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 Z2 variant will perform best among dry vegetation, on steppes and in semi-desert and even partially rocky terrain. At the same time, in the temperate zone, it will find use in forest and rural areas from late summer to late autumn. An innovative alternative to such camouflages as MultiCam, Arid MC Camo or Pentacamo.

The poncho cannot be compared in quality to others, mainly due to the RIP-Stop finish. It has already been used as an emergency shelter and a cover for a backpack; although not very big, the camouflage covers excellently as described. I even had trouble finding my backpack after just a few meters when it was covered by the poncho. The price/quality ratio is perfect.
-
The fabric is sturdy and resistant to soaking. The Phantomleaf WASP I Z3A camouflage looks great – in green forests it already fulfills its function from a dozen or so meters away, provided you remain still.

I got this poncho as a simple option for rain in the forest. You throw it on – and you don't get wet, plus the Woodland looks just right in the woods. A big plus is that a backpack fits under it normally, and your back doesn't get wet like it does with jackets. But this is a poncho, and in the wind, it has a life of its own. If it's really blowing and you don't secure it well, it starts flapping around and gets annoying. And while moving under it, it quickly gets stuffy, especially if you're walking actively. Overall, it's a decent thing for rain, you just need to understand its format.
-
The poncho is great, it fully met its task of protecting from rain and wind. Very well made, high quality, and not too expensive. I recommend this option to everyone.
-
Reliable protection from rain and wind for trips, hikes, and field conditions. The material is dense, doesn’t tear from branches or active movement, and confidently keeps water out. It goes on quickly, does not restrict movement, and allows you to work with equipment or move around without discomfort. When folded, it takes up minimal space, making it convenient to carry in a backpack as a backup. It really helps in situations when the weather changes suddenly and you need simple but reliable protection without unnecessary complications.

A few words about my new rain poncho. I chose this model because it offers the best protection from rain, wind, and cold – thanks to a special rubber coating on the inside. Because of this, it's a bit stiffer, but it's perfect for bike trips. To be sure, I bought an extra liner—it's definitely worth having this set if you plan on winter camping under the open sky. I highly recommend it!
-
Very well made, great camouflage, lots of attachments and perfectly protects from the rain. Can also be used as a tarp thanks to the grommets. A bit heavy, but you can't have everything for a reasonable price. An essential!
-
Very solid poncho from Mil-Tec at a fantastic price. Excellent quality, hood, ripstop material, and waterproofness – everything you need. Plus, it's lightweight.
-
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.
