The Angolan poncho is heavy duty as far as the fabric (plus rubberized coating), and had so much promise but it was a terrible let-down with how paper-thin the grommets are. Considering that these are at about the same price point as the Helikon Tex ponchos, I cannot recommend the Angolan poncho for any reason. They are definitely waterproof, but wearing them as a poncho is about all I would trust them for. I personally like my items to be multipurpose, and this poncho does not pass the test when serving as a tarp. If you can get this for a great price and know how to replace grommets, then this would be a good deal for you. When you combine the poncho with a poncho liner (or “Woobie” as some call it), you get a makeshift sleeping bag, or “ranger roll”. The length was just shorter by about an inch, but the width of the Helikon Tex poncho when compared to the USGI poncho was shorter by 7.5″! That means that your arms will be exposed in this poncho far more than they would with the USGI poncho, and that also means that you’re losing out on about 5 square feet of coverage when using it as a tarp!

If you’re looking for the best compromise option as far as money and quality, then the Helikon Tex poncho is a fantastic option. It’s definitely not as large as the USGI surplus poncho, but it gets the job done if you can accept its limitations. It is waterproof, but runs small when wearing it for anyone taller than 5’9″. I do like the color and pattern selections that are available and I personally like the Polish Woodland pattern more than the USGI camo pattern. It blends better into my particular environment. This is the poncho I take on short day hikes and scouting for hunting. It will provide emergency protection (where I may very well be uncomfortable) and nothing more. be fit for the purposes for which such goods are normally used, taking into account applicable law, technical standards or good practice;

Overall, this poncho has probably been around and in service longer than I’ve been alive. It seems bulletproof. I would trust it to be the most rugged in the field as a tarp or for guaranteed water protection when wearing it as a poncho.

The snaps on this poncho are only meant to snap to itself to close up the poncho when wearing it as such. Not the best seam tape job I’ve ever seen, but it is waterproof. For anyone 5’9″ and shorter, this poncho will probably feel like it offers excellent rain coverage (as both a poncho and a tarp.
