Simple ponchos are part of my wife's day bag. 
Several years ago took the family and her sister family to Kings Island, by 10AM started raining.  Out came the new ponchos one for every one, ten in all.
All different colors; blue, yellow, orange, red, green, and violet.
By afternoon our group was
Tagged the Rainbow family.
All had fun and dry thanks to a dollar store volume purchase.

He probably only started looking at blankets so he could cut a hole in one for a poncho!   :pok:

Got the poncho in this afternoon and first impressions are very good.  The Paul Boye stamp seems to support the claim that this is genuine surplus.  Feels solid without being too heavy to carry around while in the great outdoors.  One gripe is that the hood is a little large, but then it might be that it was designed to go over a combat helmet.

I would have thought you'd have more mobility having the hood under the helmet?

You would think so, but every piece of surplus gear I've owned that's had a hood has the same issue. I have a light German Army jacket that I absolutely love, but the hood is huge!
There's no such thing as "Too pretty to carry".  There's only "Too pretty NOT to carry"...... >:D

I guess that means in order to wear it properly you will need to get a combat helmet to wear on excursions then?

A LOT of folks who shoot HFT wear lots of surplus and camo, but I'm not sure a helmet isn't going a little too far. :D

I think the oversized hood is meant to cover the needs of many people. Some have a big head, some have a long neck, others have both. Add the need to wear a helmet and stay dry at the same time. A big hood has better chances at keeping the water out than a small hood.
