“I have three of these which i managed to pick up from the K-Road store when it was Kiwi Disposals back in the day. These are a great bit of kit and versatile as well. I would highly recommend these. Best to get two and they can be joined together to make a good sized shelter / ground sheet..”
“After purchasing one of these for myself I purchased another for my daughter. They are the best all round wet weather gear I have encountered. They are robust and completely waterproof while being big enough to cover you and your pack. I have used one already as a tarp and ground sheet and it has held up well. The only down side is they are heavy, but the durability and versatility of the poncho more than makes up for this.”
“Robust piece of kit that can be used as a tent, ground sheet, tarp or even a poncho. First ex army purchase that has brought smiles to the faces of all the family - its that good. Get one.”
“Writing reviews is not my strong point ,but...
I have used this out in the bush walking under a steady down pour it kept me dry, bar the bottom of my legs ended getting a bit wet ,
I did not sweat underneath that much probably due to it being really cold as it was starting to snow on the tops
compared to the miltec poncho that sell for a extra $20 (I own one ) .I'd recommend the genuine issue hands down over the miltec
as its better built and only 200 grams heavier and
folds down nearly as compact.
using a gotcha strap works really well to scrunch it up tight as .”
“Good size, covers just about everything, ie me and the bike,. .no holes that i can see and all the press studs are good. All in all a great article for all bad weather situations.”
“A mate picked one up from the Auckland store for me so I couldn't compare it with the other stock, but he said he got the good ones. Every thing was in order although I would describe it as very well used with no holes, but some of the domes are suspect. So I rate it about 3 and a half stars. I will not be taking it hunting as I can't afford for it to fail, I am using it at work to cover my tools and myself in the winter rains and it does the job. I think it's priced fairly and if unissued ones became available I would get one.”
