“Definitely waterproof but extremely large hood probably for use with helmet and backpack, had to modify it but no big deal, good value”

“In excellent condition, made of strong fabric and just the right size for me. I am short, and this fits with the spec. Look forward to trying it out in rain.”

“Poncho came in condition as advertised - there is a slight smell where the item has been in storage in the carry bag but the poncho doesn't have an odour. Easy enough to wear, the hood is oversized but easy to roll up if you don't have large headgear on and the velcro is easy to attach to bring the front and back together. Have a stroll around the village in a heavy downpour and came home dry, so am very happy with this purchase. Poncho arrived within a couple of days, so happy as ever with the services from Forces Uniform.”

“I'm really pleased with the poncho. I've not actually used it yet but it is just what I wanted. The quality of the poncho material is great and the price of it is very good. I will use it. I've not had a poncho before but I think it won't be as warm to wear as you get in a waterproof jacket. Great”

“I bought this for a friend who is wheelchair-bound- it is ideal, quick to put on and gives great weather cover. Black does not look too military unlike olive green or camo.”

“Described as 'unissued', but mine had traces of mud-spattered inside; therefore clearly used. Of greater concern, the hood is a MASSIVE 17" tall! Clearly made for use with a tall helmet of some description, this makes it unwearable for me.”
