I've been looking for the genuine military poncho and I've found it! This poncho is made for the elements and will keep you dry & happy!
Well, apparently the US ponchos do have plastic snaps. My 20+ year memory of my old army poncho is apparently fading me. That being the case, I give the poncho a 5 star review, so disregard the 3 star review. Material is good and the rings look strong.
The poncho material looks good. However, I was not expecting the poncho snap buttons to be plastic. It has been over twenty years since I was in the army, so my memory of my army issue rain poncho is fading, but I do not remember having tiny plastic snaps. I don't understand why, with so much demand for military surplus, that companies can't just make faithful replicas of the military equipment we want and charge the extra price needed to make it. Would we spend an extra 10 or 20 dollars for an identical poncho? Yes.
This poncho is great! Just like the one I was issued in the army, but brand new with great snaps and hod closure. Top shelf construction. This is the “real deal”, not a cheap foreign knockoff.
Finally a true military grade rain poncho, skip all the Amazon options, this is the one you need, full coverage, lightweight, durable, and kept me dry in a deluge
