First impression was that the material was very thin and 'worried a bit' about undoing the 'poppers' but worked fine without any damage to the material....I bought it as an emergency poncho, which this item is ideal for, large enough to keep you and your bergan dry in a sudden down pour, will easily fold up smaller than originally packed and will fit in a ammo pouch to be easily accessible, the hole for putting your head through is a bit on the tight side so take your shades/specs off before trying. Also doubles up as a ground sheet and shelter but being 6'2" I'll give the shelter part a miss...super fast delivery,under 24 hrs

I'd highly recommend this poncho for people looking for a reasonably priced and good quality poncho. I found it worked well as a poncho and basha, however if you're looking for something more heavy duty then this is not the product for you and I'd recommend something from the snug pack line. The poncho comes in a small waterproof bag which easily fits into any bergen and takes up less space than a cadet issue poncho/basha. Overall this product is lightweight, efficient, fairly cheap and if you're looking for a light duty poncho then look no further.

I absolutely love the practicality and versatility of this poncho. I'll be carrying it with me pretty much all the time now.
