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.

Camouflage wz.93 Pantera PL Woodland
The wz.93 Pantera PL Woodland camouflage is the standard pattern currently utilized by the Polish Armed Forces. Marking a significant development in the Third Polish Republic, it was the first camouflage design created and broadly implemented for military use. The 1993 design expertly blends mimetic qualities with disruptive elements through irregularly shaped spots of different sizes. Its color palette, featuring green, brown, and black hues, has been specifically tailored to suit the environment of Polish forests, ensuring Pantera’s effectiveness in local terrain. Military Uniform Class students also receive uniforms in this pattern as part of their essential gear.

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.
-
Great poncho, protects against every downpour. Well made, no defects, rubberized underside. Satisfied with the purchase. I recommend it to those who are undecided, the poncho is worth buying.
-
Very good quality craftsmanship. It's neither the cheapest nor the most expensive poncho, but it does its job. The cover makes it easier to fold and carry in a backpack.
-
An armored poncho made of rubberized material. The actual waterproofness surpasses other ponchos and most tarps. It will withstand any downpour and can be used as a groundsheet under a tarp without the risk of getting damaged. Relatively heavy, but that's the trade-off. I recommend the product and the store Militaria.pl.

-
Very good poncho, well made, solid rubberized material. The poncho should last a long time. 100% waterproof. It is a bit heavy when folded, but it's worth having something solid that won't let you down in heavy rain.
