It is hard to find fault with the quality of workmanship, and the camouflage itself works really effectively, especially in the shade. In full sunlight, however, there is a slight sheen, so the material is not completely matte. It should work best in a bright, flower-filled meadow and in more shaded places. As a tarp, it also performs its role very well; if it turns out to be too small for someone, you can simply use a second one and fasten it on one side. I had the opportunity to test it thoroughly, and during rain it also does its job flawlessly. I definitely prefer this solution to an umbrella that has to be held in the hand all the time, and when it is no longer needed, this product can be neatly folded and put into a bag.

M05 camouflage
The M05 camouflage (Finnish M05 Maastokuvio) represents a series of pixelated camouflage patterns adopted by the Finnish Defence Forces in 2005, replacing the earlier M91 pattern. Developed through digital analysis of photographs depicting Finnish forests across various seasons, the design was created in collaboration with the Finnish Forest Research Institute. Several versions of the M05 series exist, including variants for woodland, snow, and cold weather environments.
The primary woodland variant of the M05 features a combination of light green, dark green, brown, and dark graphite patches, closely mimicking the appearance of Finnish forest terrain. Thanks to similarities in vegetation and terrain, the M05 Woodland camouflage also delivers effective concealment in the forests found throughout Central and Eastern Europe, ensuring reliable performance in a range of natural habitats.

Durable and sturdy, yet still light. It can also serve as a temporary emergency shelter. For a tall person (198 cm) with a large backpack, it may be a bit short, but it provides protection for the most important parts of the body.
-
"Ultralight poncho with many uses". It can serve as a tarp, a bivy bag, an underquilt cover, or a rain poncho with space for a backpack. The M05 pattern is perfectly replicated. The material has a slight shine in full sunlight, so it's best to camp and move in the shade if possible. I recommend this product! In the photo: Test bivouac under a tarp during rain, with a light tent floor and a 12 mm mat at 8°C. With this size, pay attention to the wind direction when setting up! It's really worth buying!

The poncho stands out for its lightness, which is important when carrying a full set of gear. The material is quite thin, but if it's really ripstop, it shouldn't tear easily on branches. I haven't had the chance to test it outdoors yet. The M05 camouflage is sufficiently similar to Finnish military equipment, so you could say it meets army requirements. The material is rather shiny, which I don't entirely like because I prefer matte finishes. The cover included with the poncho is solid, but it lacks molle straps, which would improve it significantly. Nevertheless, for around 22 euros, the poncho offers really good quality. Comparable products in outdoor stores are usually twice as expensive.

The MFH RipStop poncho in M05 camouflage appears lightweight, solid, and very well-made. The fabric effectively protects against rain, and the design allows you to comfortably wear it over your gear. The camouflage pattern is reproduced quite accurately.

Great poncho, perfectly protects against heavy rain – I tested it all last week and there were no leaks. Its size easily covers a 65-liter backpack; with such a load it reaches down to the groin, but combined with rain pants it works perfectly. This is already my third poncho from this brand, which shows my satisfaction. A big advantage is the option to connect two ponchos together with snaps to easily create a larger shelter. I definitely recommend it – great value for money.

This is already my second poncho since my wife took the first one. Very good poncho, works well in the rain as well as in strong sunlight. I chose camouflage because I walk a lot in forests and don't want to be noticed. The camouflage is quite dark and blends in well in the forest.
-
A good poncho for a reasonable price. Nothing special, but both the material and workmanship are at a good level. It has everything a modern poncho should have. The flecktarn camouflage, here called BW, is the most versatile in our conditions. I recommend the product and the store Militaria.pl.

The poncho proved itself during rain and a downpour. Later, as a good sunshade, it replaced the roof, so it can be used in many ways. Quite large, so no problem if someone is a bit bigger. After rain, it can be put in its cover with a drawstring so you can hang it on a backpack. This is a huge convenience because it doesn't take up space. I recommend it.

I bought this poncho as the lightest available on the market and wanted to test its waterproofness. During a storm in the Świętokrzyskie Mountains, it worked perfectly. It withstood heavy rain and didn’t get soaked, although the very light material stuck to my body, causing excessive sweating. I recommend the product and the store.
-
I'm a big guy and the poncho covers me beautifully! Good quality. Big plus for the steel rings on the corners – you can insert pegs and make a temporary shelter. Of course, you still need some string and at least one tree ;)
-
A few stray threads to cut off, but otherwise, good value for the price.
-
The best poncho I've had, good quality and perfect camouflage. Just get it.
-
The poncho is very well made and the snaps allow you to fasten the sides.
-
Good quality material. Definitely NOT disposable. Spacious poncho, will effectively cover a backpack as well. Can be used as an emergency tarp. The head opening is a bit narrow.
