I've been looking for the genuine military poncho and I've found it! This poncho is made for the elements and will keep you dry & happy!
This is the updated version of what I had in the military. I also bought 2 of the camp ones. They work great and have already gotten good use so far!
Sizing on this is excellent; I'm 5'-10" with a 35" sleeve, and this does the trick. The bottom is just below my knees, and in a light rain for short walks, even the bottom of my pants stay dry; this seems to throw the water away as I walk. For a longer exposure in heavy rain, certainly my pants get soaked but only to just my knees. My wrists would easily stay dry if I were not holding a dog leash. The length however is not so long that I would trip on it, and I even used it for a few minutes climbing a ladder without having any mobility issues.
The hood is quite deep, but you may need a cap with a strong, long bill to hold the hood up; at that point my face seems to stay dry even walking into a pretty decent breezy rain.
Construction is quite good. The only possible complaint, and it could just be a matter of break-in, is that the snaps are very stiff to close and you may need two hands to pop them closed (they open with no issue).
For only about 5 bucks more than a foreign-made item, I'm thrilled to be able to get a very solid product made in the USA!
I have two ponchos, the older is a woodland camo and my recent purchase is od. Since my woodland is quite old I am using it primarily for the outer shell of a woobie and my od one as a poncho. These ponchos are large enough to use while wearing a back pack/day pack and shelter under during a heavy down pour. Instead of using the snaps I use plastic or coated binder clips so I cannot give an evaluation of the snaps. With a poncho liner it makes an excellent bedroll.
Good gear. I would have preferred traditional metal snaps. But these plastic ones seem adequate, time will tell.
