Pros & Cons
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.

Competitiveness
This is very close to the usgi issue poncho i have.
Poncho should perform as well as a usgi poncho.
