Austrian Army Wet Weather Poncho
The Austrian Army Wet Weather Poncho is a genuine Bundesheer-issue rain poncho built from heavy, waterproof coated fabric in classic OD green. It features a drawcord hood, side snap closures that convert it into a sleeved garment over your kit, and reinforced corner grommets that let you rig it as a basha or two-man shelter with paracord. Laid flat it measures roughly 64 by 78 inches, making it large enough to pair with a standard poncho liner for a field-expedient sleep system. A versatile piece of authentic surplus for hikers, campers, hunters, bushcrafters, and collectors of European military kit.

Love this thing so muchThis poncho is awesome! I use it as a ground cover and rain poncho when I'm out hiking. You can tell its real military issue, the quality is no joke.

Way tougher than those cheap blue tarpsOkay so I almost didn't buy this because I saw some reviews saying surplus gear always smells like chemicals and mothballs. Decided to try anyway since it was only $40 and my old walmart poncho ripped on the first trip. Shipping was fast got here in 3 days but the bag had that classic warehouse smell, nothing a quick wash didnt fix. Been using it for weekend camping for about a month now and this thing is built completely different from civilian junk. Me and my buddy snapped two together last weekend and made a legit shelter that kept us dry through a thunderstorm. Way better than carrying a separate tarp and tent poles.
Heavy duty nylon actually holds up to brush
Eyelets are reinforced for shelter configurationTakes up more pack space than ultralight gear

absolute tank in stormsI have used cheap civilian ponchos for years that always ripped or leaked at the worst possible times so I finally decided to invest in a real military poncho. This Austrian one is built completely different from anything ive worn before. The material is thick and heavy duty and I stood in a legitimate downpour for over an hour at a football game last weekend and stayed completely dry underneath. The NATO standard design means it works with poncho liners I already had from my time in the Army which is awesome because paired together its basically a wearable sleeping bag. I also snapped two of them together with my buddy and made a quick rain shelter during a camping trip that actually worked. The OD green color is classic military and looks great.
For a surplus poncho in this condition the value is incredible.

Best surplus poncho for the moneyThis is definitely the best condition surplus poncho I have ever found. It works perfectly with my USGI poncho liner and the olive drab color looks really clean. It is a must-have for anyone who spends a lot of time outdoors in the rain.
