Hi I know I'm late to the party but just wanted to say thank you for your review. I'm was just browsing for a poncho and your video helped me made an educated choice. Great work, will definitely look at your other videos.

UPS delivery just pulled up about 10 minutes ago and just got mine but mine's defective it didn't come with rain how do you get it with rain I didn't see the option with rain

Ive been using these exact ponchos (different color) for a few years now and havent any issues. I understand that Helikon Tex makes a similar poncho with no PU coating so should be almost identical to the USGI poncho and lighter as well.

Thanks for the review man!!

I've had one for several years. Awesome poncho.

I have too. Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹. Good videos.

Nice review. Just bought a digital woodland camo one about two weeks ago but have not used it yet.

Good bit of kit , you could all so use the poncho as a means of collecting rain water for drinking in a survival situation .

Had the same thing from ,,black snake" Second use in heavy rain for a hiking trip with a 65l backpack and everything was wet I am going to buy this one now Sry for my english and thank you for the review in the rain

This whole video was so Canadian lol. As an American, I love it! Great video OP! Buying one now 🙌

Looks like a very peaceful place that you were camping at. Sucks that the weather didn't cooperate. Great video.

Good video. 👍 I have a couple of the Mil-tec poncho's. One is always in the top of my pack, the other is always in the boot of the car in case I break down in bad weather. Cracking bit of kit. Regards JB.

Nice review (Love your dog, it is so cute )

You forgot to close off the hood in the middle when using it as a tarp. It's possible with the strings.

Thanks for the great video. I have been looking at this poncho but am undecided. Your video helped me decide to give it a go. Much appreciated! Also, your dog is totally cool, and so relaxed! That's so awesome. What's his/her name?

Hmm, might pick this up. I wanted the Helikon Tex US Poncho but the shipping to Canada is TRIPLE the price of the poncho. Thanks for the review

Good review, under hard conditions are even more realistic, thanks...Regards...

While it is true that Mil-Tec is a German company, it's only a Handelsgesellschaft i.e. a trading company, they outsource products from China. I just had a very nasty experience with one of their products, a repro old-style German Army penknife, in black with ''powder coating'' on the blade & other tools. I knew that there would be some play i.e. sidewards wobbling on the tools and blade, after all it only cost me £8, I managed to saw thru a piece of wood about 3cm thick without too much difficulty, even the original German Army Victorinox saw was limited as it was only 4cm long because at the end there is a bottle opener/screwdriver combi, but when I tried to whittle the same piece of wood with the blade I was shocked to see a 1mm thick part of the blade flake off in about a 1cm square! So the powder coating is pretty thick on the blade! Basically it's worthless to me now, I wouldn't even cut food with it for fear of getting bits of whatever that coating is in my food. Chucked it in the bin now and bought a Victorinox civilian model with saw, which I should have done in the first place tbh. Original German Army knives of that style are only available from German suppliers second hand and the Victorinox ones are going for a premium, and even then you have know way of knowing how much the blade has been ground down after years of use, so I reckon I won't be able to replace the one I had back in the 90s and lost, which is a shame. The new German Army model, sold as the Victorinox Soldier, doesn't cut it imho (excuse the pun) because the main blade is mostly serrated, so it would be a bugger to sharpen. Anyway back to the main point, in Germany many people call Mil-Tec ''Muell-Tec'', Muell means rubbish. So when looking for ponchos I wasn't tempted to buy a Mil-Tec one, even though the Flecktarn ones look nice visually. Plumped for a Dutch Army surplus poncho in woodland, I know this will be robust and won't let me down.

You SURE this wasn't filmed in Vancouver?! Hahaha Enjoying your videos on a soggy Saturday evening! Cheers mate!

God job :-) One of the best reviev, I ever see

If anyone can hear this problems please reply to this comment. I purchased so many poncho from the rothco military poncho, frogg toggs, and now the anyoo tarp poncho. These were a poncho I bought and the frogg toggs poncho had worn out but it still done a better job than the two I bought. Now tell me if I'm doing this wrong that, when the poncho comes in to the door step can I actually use it immediately? Fact that I am not so sure if the hood is the problem or the fabric is having difficulty with me. I used it plenty of times the poncho actually seeps water in. It should be waterproof said in the package but why am I having diffculties with the outdoor products? Would you tell me that the outdoor retailers are not telling me the exact priority in using the product? Or is it that there are so many scams that are trying to rip me off?

Thanks for the review. I have been looking for a poncho with a zip and-or velcro opening at the neck to allow for more ventilation. Did you happen to look at the Snugpack Patrol poncho

Glad I watched this just in time to cancel my order for one of these. When you were wearing it over your back pack it hardly covers you, and opens up the sides exposing far too much..

I would like to know how you join two mil tec ponchos together to make a larger tarp, the studs would need to be oppersite way around on the right hand side to the left hand side to use these to join the tarps with an overlap. Ive got two and dont find them useful to make a bigger camp at all, just ordered a 3mx3m tarp to make a better job of a shelter.

Thanks for the great video review in real conditions. Made me decide that it's worth getting. When you were stringing the poncho up as a tarp rain roof, how did you tension it? ie what knot did you use? video time: 5.55 Thank you again!

ΣΕ ΕΥΧΑΡΙΣΤΩ ΓΙΑ ΤΗΝ ΒΟΗΘΕΙΑ ΠΟΥ ΠΗΡΑ ΑΠΟ ΤΟ ΠΟΛΥ ΟΜΟΡΦΟ ΚΑΙ ΕΠΕΞΗΓΗΜΑΤΙΚΟ ΣΟΥ ΒΙΝΤΕΟ (thank you for the help from your beautiful video)

Awesome video...you should make one for the dog 😀😀...

I have new one and wore it only once, but it has really bad plastic smell, will it go away with time or i can do something to make it less smelly

Love my poncho when I was in the British army, far better than those pre Gortex rubber waterproofs.

these are awesome a very versatile piece of gear.

Ok ok I love it but someone HELP I'm a 5'2 male would this be dragging on the groundI really want to use a poncho because they're better than jackets my opinion but I don't know if my size will allow it

Jeez! What kind of rain do you get in Canada where you need a helmet? Just as well the poncho has an oversized hood :-)

Only problem with ponchos... remembering which handy pack you stashed it in. As such... I think I have three of 'em in all. LOL One of these days, I'd better make sure at least one of them is compatible with the Swagman Roll liner I have also. Hmmm... might end up having to buy another poncho? LOL

Where did you find the digi camo version?

Please, Does anybody own both this and the Helikon Tex poncho? Which one is more versatile i ters of uses? Can this be used on the ground to sleep on? Thanks in advance

If its raining how do you get the poncho up as a tarp without getting wet?

Favorite poncho 2017? Almost got the mil tec but some reviews say it leaks A LOT in front at the seams

Thank you for sharing :-)

So I got mine. ALL the reviews I read said a few things ONLY from Ireland(long shipping) ONLY made in Germany ONLY green Ripstop Mine is Made in China Mine is black Nothing says Germany,anywhere Nothing says Ripstop Came in less then 1 day Did I get a fake from Amazon?

Good way of collecting water. Your pooch needs a ground sheet.

Thanks for the review. Looks like Fort Mac area?

This is not the original Mil-Tec, what you see is a fake from the amazon......

hood needs to be bigger for that helmut )

Good 1

its the fake one. real gave black paper sign not this camo-coyote one

that hood should fit over your helmet

👍

amazon reviews are terrible

Not long enough. Usual cheap nylon poncho that is too light in wind and too small when worn over backpack.
