A very good idea to combine a poncho and the semblance of a tent while keeping both the weight and the price of the poncho itself. Very similar model to the Chinese product OneTigris. During heavy rainfall, moisture accumulates inside and it gets wet, but this always happens in a single-layer structure. I recommend the product and the Militaria.pl store.
Badger Outdoor Timber Poncho with tent function - Olive
A rain poncho designed to transform into a semi-open shelter. Offering lightweight construction, exceptional durability, and versatile functionality, this gear is an essential addition to any kit. Reliable for use in both forest clearings and stored in a car's glove box or a bike pannier, always prepared for wet conditions.
Waterproof polyester with PU coating, Rip-stop weave
Constructed from durable polyester, the poncho utilizes a Rip-Stop weave that enhances toughness and provides superior resistance to tearing and mechanical abrasion. To ensure water resistance rated at 5000 mm/m2, the surface is finished with a polyurethane (PU) coating.
Zipper with flap, 5 peg loops
A front closure is secured with a zipper shielded by a Velcro flap, effectively reducing water and wind ingress. Velcro panels are positioned on the sleeves for affixing patches. Enhanced structural integrity is ensured by a lashing loop situated at the top of the hood, along with 5 peg loops located at the sleeve ends and the bottom edge for reliable anchoring to the ground.
Possibility to use as a tent
A poncho serves as a versatile semi-tent by placing a branch or trekking pole at its center for support and securing the edges to the ground with pegs. Joining two ponchos together forms a fully enclosed tent, utilizing the sleeve openings as ventilation windows to maintain proper air circulation.

Awesome gear for survival! The Badger Outdoor Timber poncho is not only protection against rain but also an emergency tent. Solid, lightweight, and takes up little space in the backpack.
-
A great innovative idea to combine a raincoat and a tarp. The price is very low, which raises some concerns about quality, but we'll see—time will tell. For now, I'm satisfied.
-
One star less because I expected a thicker material. My oversight was not reading that there are no poles included for setting up the tent, as is the case with old army shelter halves. I'll have to look for poles from another tent. I would be willing to pay more to have a complete set. I’ll test the waterproofness soon.
-
Good workmanship; extra points for the drawstring, which allows you to narrow the circumference over the shoulders so it fits more tightly and doesn't choke the neck like other models. Very spacious.
-
A plus for the clever solution with the second use. The additional functionality of the tent is sometimes helpful, and setting up the structure itself is very easy. I recommend it.
