Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

First look, very satisfied. This feature also makes this poncho pretty toasty. Been using for years in harsh conditions and still holding strong.

Heavy duty poncho weighs it down so that it isn't flimsy and fly-away at the slightest breeze. Not mil spec, but sturdy.

Heavy duty plastic really helps it stay waterproof. There is a little splashing that happens to your ankles, but we also had waterproof boots.

This is more sturdy than cheaper plastic rain ponchos. You can use it to make various shelters (just google poncho shelter) and works good as a tarp as well.



Cons

Brand new by miltec; pancho is very light weight. Not even close to heavier weight u.

Also the storage bag it comes in is a little small leaving parts of it exposed to rough conditions where it could get wear spot...  Read More

Competitiveness


This is very close to the usgi issue poncho i have.
