This poncho made a huge impression on me! The WASP I Z3A camouflage works excellently in Czech forests and meadows, allowing you to almost completely blend into the surroundings in the field. The lightweight rip-stop fabric also stands out for its high resistance to damage and tears from branches. Even during heavy rain, the poncho effectively protects against getting soaked. Its greatest advantage is its versatility – with the use of snaps, it can be turned in moments into a tarp shelter or a groundsheet under a sleeping bag. It takes up very little space in a backpack and weighs almost nothing. For bushcraft and military enthusiasts, this is undoubtedly a very good purchase!
Rain poncho constructed from polyester enhanced with Rip-Stop technology. The inner surface features a PVC layer, which, together with taped seams, provides a waterproof rating of 5000 mm/m2.
A spacious hood equipped with a drawstring delivers reliable protection for the head against rain and wind, while the generously cut design enables the poncho to be worn over any clothing and headgear.
Equipped with metal grommets along the edges, the poncho doubles as a camping tarp, offering shelter from rain and wind as a canopy or improvised tent. Multiple ponchos can be joined together using the integrated snaps.
Easily stowed in the supplied carry pouch, the poncho is highly compact and weighs noticeably less than traditional rain jackets.
WASP I represents an advanced PHANTOMLEAF® CIV-TEC® camouflage series, developed exclusively for MIL-TEC®. PHANTOMLEAF® camouflage utilizes cutting-edge digital terrain analysis to create patterns ideal for concealment in specified environments. The underlying algorithm also factors in movement and additional variables, giving these patterns excellent adaptability in diverse conditions. Simultaneously, PHANTOMLEAF® camouflage assures clear "friend or foe" recognition for units during combat or airsoft events.
WASP I Z1B variant excels in rocky landscapes with sparse vegetation, such as tundra or mountains above the treeline. It is equally suited for urban and industrial landscapes dominated by concrete and metal. The pattern remains efficient even in areas with partial snow cover.

A very good rain poncho; it performs excellently even during heavy downpours. It is lightweight, made of durable material, and can be put on in an instant. In the forest, it passed a tough test without any damage — it neither snagged on nor tore against branches in more difficult terrain. The camouflage also deserves praise, as it looks much better than on typical green ponchos. I definitely recommend it for autumn trips through forests and thickets.
-
Great quality workmanship, heavy and solid. It can also replace a tent. The camouflage pattern works perfectly in the forest and is just as good as in more expensive models.
-
A solid poncho for a good price. The material is strong and durable. The WASP I Z3A camouflage does its job. When unfolded, the poncho can serve as a small tarp or a shelter roof for a makeshift shelter. I recommend it to everyone.
-
The quality of this poncho is unrivaled, mainly due to the use of RIP-STOP material. It has already served me both as an emergency, small shelter and as a cover for my backpack. The camouflage works perfectly – finding a backpack covered with it was really difficult for me even from just a few meters away. The price to quality ratio is excellent.
-
The material is thick and strong, it does not soak through. Very nice Phantomleaf WASP I Z3A camouflage, it really works well in a green forest, already at a dozen meters. Of course, as long as you don't move.
-
I chose this poncho as a simple protection against rain while hiking in the forest. You just put it on and you won't get wet, and the Woodland camouflage blends well with the forest surroundings. A big advantage is that a backpack easily fits under the poncho, so your back doesn't get soaked like with a jacket. The downside is that in strong wind, without proper fastening, the poncho starts to move and can be annoying. Additionally, when you’re on the move, it quickly gets stuffy under the poncho, especially during intense walking. Overall, it’s a solid option for rain, as long as you’re aware of its characteristics.

The poncho worked great, it protected perfectly against rain and wind. It is well made, durable, and reasonably priced. I recommend this model to everyone.

Provides effective protection against rain and wind during travel, walks, and in the field. The material is solid, resistant to tearing from branches or sudden movements, and offers good water protection. It's easy to put on, doesn't restrict movement, and allows you to use equipment or move around comfortably without any trouble. When folded, it takes up very little space, so it's easy to keep as a spare in your backpack. Ideal for sudden weather changes when you need quick and reliable protection without unnecessary extras.

A few words about my new rain poncho. I chose this poncho because it provides the best protection from rain and wind, as well as from the cold, since it is coated with a special rubber layer on the inside. This makes it a bit more rigid, but it will work perfectly on cycling routes. Just in case, I bought an extra liner, a "must-have" set if you have to sleep outdoors in winter. I recommend it!
-
Well made, very good camouflage, lots of loops, and excellent protection against rain. Thanks to the eyelets, it can also be used as a tarp. It's quite heavy, but at this price, it's hard to expect everything. It's an indispensable thing!
-
A really well-made poncho from Mil-Tec at a great price. Really good workmanship, a hood, ripstop material, and waterproofing—everything you need. It's not heavy.

Despite my terrible opinion of this company's products, I decided to buy something from them one last time, because of the camouflage (phantomleaf only shared the pattern with two companies, including mil-tec) and surprisingly, I wasn't disappointed. After sealing the seams on the hood, nothing leaks, the poncho is quite large and the buttons seem really solid. Unfortunately, the cover literally falls apart in your hands, with the seams ripping just from... taking the poncho out for the first time. But aside from the terrible case and lack of seam sealing, the poncho is actually quite nice. For your own convenience, it's worth impregnating it with some spray before use (the material is waterproof, but not hydrophobic, so in heavy downpours it can eventually start to let water through) and sealing the seams. Then, for this price, you get solid protection from the rain for both yourself and your backpack. A small disclaimer for taller people: I am just over 180cm tall and the poncho reaches a little below my knees, so it's worth having waterproofed trousers and shoes, otherwise your calves and feet will get soaked.
-
A solid poncho for good money. The material is strong and durable. The WASP I Z3A camouflage does a great job. When unfolded, the poncho can be used as a small tarp or a shelter roof.
-
The camouflage is awesome. It provides great protection from the rain, which is crucial (although sometimes there is a bit of condensation on the back). It also offers decent thermal comfort. It's a bit heavy and after wearing it for more than 2 hours, you start to feel it.
