Excellent bit of kit for the money. Only criticism I would give is that it would be nice if there was more than 1 delivery option to choose from as DPD's service is expensive.

I'm impressed with the Dutch Army DPM poncho. It's in great condition, and I like that it's bigger than the British Army equivalent, so it better covers my 6ft 3in frame. Fold it in half lengthwise, fasten the poppers, and pass a couple of 8ft cut branches through it and hey presto, you have a stretcher bed! It's also big enough to make a tarp shelter. What's not to like. Prompt service and great price. Well done!

Great condition. Has a built in stuff sack but will roll up smaller with cordage or bunjee. Haven’t used it in heavy rain yet. It’s larger than the helicon tex or usgi ponchos so that’s good. If I had one complaint it’s that there is no centre grommet on the short side like the usgi and helicon tex versions. I would use that for ridge line in a frame tarp setup. It’s big enough that I can sleep in it as an improvised Bivvi with enough space for my arms and shoulders, whereas the helicon tex version would be bursting at the seams.

I am over 6 ft tall and wanted a camouflaged poncho for wildlife watching purposes to keep dry during rain showers. This poncho is a good size and fits me well, coming down to below my knees. It was also in excellent condition. I have used it once since purchasing in fairly heavy rain in the tropics and it certainly kept the rain out. The only slight downsides are that the hood is enormous (presumably designed to fit over a helmet), I felt quite sweaty (maybe much less of a problem in temperate conditions) and it does rustle quite a bit. Overall very satisfied for the price, and also the rapid delivery.

It is a used item in good condition. I would have given five stars but there was a stud missing. However I am very satisfied and would look to buy from this company again.
