USGI Industries Military Style Rain Poncho, Waterproof Ripstop Camo

Seems exceptionally durable and super lightweight. Great to keep in the Jeep “just in case”.

I read some of the negative reviews and concede that these ponchos may be a little thinner and less rugged than genuine military issue, but they're also lighter, more compact and a fraction of the cost. Which for occasional backpacking, make them work better for me. I like that they are rip-stop and wider than most ponchos, (a full 62 inches), so in addition to keeping you dry while you're hiking, you can stretch a bit of para-cord between 2 trees and make a tent , or snap the two sides together to create a rainproof bivy over your sleeping bag. I bought 2 and they snap together beautifully to create a 2-person emergency bivy for my wife and I. My only disappointment is that there are no snaps at the bottom to close the bivy. If I can find 4 to 6 of the 2-sided snaps I'll add them myself. Or in an emergency, duct tape the bottoms together. Living in Colorado, I keep a small day-pack in my car at all times for those spontaneous hikes when we're driving through the mountains. 2 of these ponchos fit easily in my bag, along with packable down coats, thermolite underwear and a few other survival essentials. No one plans to get lost of have an emergency in the wilderness, but if you do, you'll be very glad you invested in these ponchos. If they ever offer them in Survival orange, I'll buy them again.

This is one of the best ponchos that I ever owned. It’s just what I wanted for fishing, packable, extra protection left in a vehicle. There is just so many uses for this product!

Good product but don't kid yourself not gi spec

We got this poncho because of the versatility and it will actually hold up to foul weather. If you’ve ever been caught in real inclement weather you know what I’m saying.

NOTICE: Because this website likes to “conflate” reviews, the following is a comparison between the FOUSAM “Camo” Poncho ASIN B0BN5PFHRM and USGI Industries Civilian “MultiCam-OCP” Poncho ASIN B07YMKZ59R. I rate both 5 stars, to understand why, read on! Size: FOUSAM 55” wide x 90” long rectangle with 32mm wide single-stitch hem. USGI 62” wide x 82” long oval with 43mm wide double-stitch hem (to accommodate larger grommets, see below). Color: Web-picture of FOUSAM “Camo” poncho looks cartoon-ish. But in person the FOUSAM pattern and color is extremely similar to MultiCam, but with a Browner base tone. USGI's “Authorized Multicam-OCP ” base color is Greener, which is closer to CRYE Scorpion. Go figure. FOUSAM pictured on the left, USGI on the right. In bright daylight I can discern the difference, in the woods or under artificial light I cant distinguish them apart. Material: Both are 210T (Taffeta) rip-stop polyester. FYI, 210D (Denier) is more durable but heavier. FYI, Nylon is Near Infrared (NIR) Compliant, Polyester typically not NIR Compliant. Both FOUSAM and USGI must have treated this Polyester, because both are NIR compliant. A very pleasant surprise from both, considering most Amazon listings for Mil-Spec practically glow under night vision. FYI, FOUSAM'S 2 Piece “Camo” Rain Suit ASIN B0DMN1NY63 is sadly not NIR compliant and was returned before even opening. Water Resistance: Both have 3000MM Water RESISTANT rating with Polyurethane (PU) coatings. FOUSAM PU coating was translucent. USGI PU coating tinted green. FOUSAM hood-seam is not taped. USGI hood-seam is taped. FYI, as you compare rain gear, PU coatings are light, flexible, and breathable. Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) coatings are heavier, more rigid, and offer more waterproof durability. Both PU and PVC are cheaper than more durable Gore-Tex PTFE, but Gore-Tex is heavy and expensive. All coatings start to break down or de-laminate within 3 to 5 to10 years, respectively, so beware when buying old military surplus. Ask how I learned this :/ Weight: FOUSAM 55x90” poncho weighs 412gm, bag 13gm, 6 pieces of 24” para-cord 46gm, total 471gm. USGI 62x82” poncho 431gm, bag 15gm, no para-cord included, total 446gm. Difference in weight between FOUSAM and USGI due to grommets, see below. Hiking proverb: Ounces equals Pounds, Pounds equals Pain. Hood: FOUSAM hood 17” tall with 26” face opening. USGI hood 18” tall with 29” face opening. Neither have a visor extension. Both neck-holes are 24” in circumference, so both too small to don over a Large (34” circumference) MICH TC-2000 “full cut” helmet. Grommets: Both are copper. FOUSAM has 6 pieces sized 11mm ID & 15mm OD. USGI has 8 pieces sized 14mm ID & 23mm OD. FOUSAM's smaller grommets only accept para-cord. USGI's larger grommets additionally accept horn-shaped toggle-buttons. USGI's 2 extra grommets centered on the wider 62” sides will assist in setting up an improvised A-Frame tent. Snaps: Both have 12 pieces of durable mil-spec 15mm double-sided (infinite stacking capability) metal snaps. FOUSAM spaced 8” apart, USGI spaced 9” apart. Waist Cinch: FOUSAM 112” length para-cord fed through metal eyelets. USGI 192” length para-cord slipped thru a fabric sleeve. All of which means, if you accidentally pull-out the waist cord, its easier to fish-in back through the USGI poncho. Conclusion: Both are made in PRC China from the same materials. If you have a smaller 40L backpack and can tolerate sleeping-rough in a drafty Ranger-Roll setup, buy the shorter 82” USGI $40 Poncho and 794gm USGI $46 Poncho Liner 62x82” nylon shell with polyester fill (ASIN B07YN8Z17Z). If you have a larger 50L backpack and use a Down or 3M Thinsulate sleeping bag, buy the longer 90” FOUSAM $26 Poncho (ASIN B0BN5PFHRM ), and invest the savings (and weight trade-off) on a truly waterproof Bivouac Bag.

Easiest means to rain proof me and my 40L pack, add their woobie and you're snow-proof, too. If you find yourself wet while wearing this, it does not make a great bathing suit. Easy to compress and pack, durable through a wet spring of hiking so far.

I purchased this poncho more to use as a minimalist shelter on some of my camping trips. Since the kit this went with is a modern military pack the color was perfect. I am just under 6 foot and 210 pounds. The poncho size gave me good coverage when set up as a flying A tarp tent. The grommets make it quick and easy to set up as a plow point, lean to, or A frame shelter. It packs light, keeps me dry, and doesn't hold water like some materials.

I got this for my dads bday and he loved it!! He takes it into the bush hiking and camping. It holds up really well.

Ok
