Description
This is a poncho that was used in the US Military. The US Military in general no longer issues ponchos and they have been replaced by tarps. The basic design of the poncho used in the US Military has been around for a very long time, that’s because it just plain works. The poncho can be worn and has an adjustable hood, and it can also be used as a tarp to cover gear and yourself. When used as a tarp the hood needs to be tightened all the way down so as to not let rain in. Around the edges of the tarp are grommets for tying the poncho down as well as button snaps for connecting multiple together to form a larger shelter. When worn the poncho is larger enough to cover your body and backpack and most everything else worn. These are great for general use, emergency preparedness, camping and hiking.
