Very solid poncho from Mil-Tec at a fantastic price. Excellent quality, hood, ripstop material, and waterproofness – everything you need. Plus, it's lightweight.
The sturdy nylon rain poncho provides excellent protection against rain and moisture. Featuring RipStop technology, it offers a lightweight construction while ensuring high tear resistance. The interior is coated with a rubberized layer, further enhancing its waterproof capabilities and safeguarding the wearer even in challenging weather conditions.
Every seam in the poncho is meticulously sealed to effectively block moisture from seeping through fabric connections.

Camouflage Woodland
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.

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.
