Helikon-Tex US Model Surplus Line Poncho

Great product, goes with me everywhere I go that it might be needed.

this poncho has kept me dry in horrible downpours more times than i can count. also used it as an expediant shelter. durable and high quality

Always a little skeptical seeing German in the product description but its exactly the right poncho in English!! absolutely worth the money! snugs into the swagman roll and you can just feel the high quality. If you are like me, tired marine.... this will blow you away compared to the "sleep systems" that are issued.

Great poncho at great price. Heavier than most you can buy at local stores. Size is great too.

Light and functional. I really like how well this poncho does it's job. It's a bit lower than other brands. Th material looks to be Rip stop like but isn't so thick it's heavy.

I have not tested it under weather but it seems to be good quality ripstop. Like all ponchos it's basically a sack with a hole for your head so writing a long review is really not a thing. Seems fone!

This is a pretty sturdy poncho. The M81 type pattern looks as it should. Fits well, covers what it needs to. Got this to go with my swagman roll.

This poncho is a near exact copy of the US military ponchos that used to be available at any gun show for $20 a decade or so back. It's a little thinner than the US surplus ones and made of polyester and not nylon, but it is just as strong and waterproof. The neck-hole is smaller than the surplus one too, but even with a bucket for a head I can out it on easily.One of the benefits of a smaller hood and opening is that it fits a little more snugly and let's less rain in than a surplus poncho. Ideally, you'd wear a ball cap or other brimmed hat under it and be truly good to go.This does unsnap and fold open for use as a tarp and also mates up with the surplus poncho liner nicely.If you can find one under $50 then buy it.
