With closed sides and sleeves this departs from the ordinary definition of "a poncho" and does not double as a shelter as easily. One has to suspect also that in tropical climates as its not open at the sides it will be too stuffy inside. I like the fact the back is long so if you wear it on its own when you sit down on it protects your upper legs from getting wet
Great review! Snugpak owes you bigtime! Your attention to practical detail is awesome ,always bringing great product to the normal guy... Keep up the great work brother!
That looks like it works out real well. I like the fact that it will cover a fairly large back pack and still keep you and every thing else dry. Thanks for sharing.
I went to school near where the Snugpak factory is. Most of my coats and sleeping bags when I was younger came from there. Didn't realise they were still trading, the one outdoor shop that stocked all their kit only sells work wear now. The rumour was that they used to make a lot of kit for the elite UK armed forces. Don't know if it was true or not, but it certainly didn't harm their rep, especially when we were kids. Wanted a poncho for cycling and chanced upon this. Think I'll call in at their factory and buy one. Thanks!
I have used various military ponchos since the late 1960s until now. Last year I bought two Snugpak ponchos and they both leak like sieves. My wife and I were drenched after an hour in light rain after a gentle test walk through the town. These are the first ponchos to ever let me down. It is a great design with the sleeves, thumb holes and spacious hood etc but to complete our journey home we had to remove the ponchos and resort to polythene sheets, which did keep the rain off. I have used various Snugpak products over the years and have ordinarily found them to be superb. I can only assume that they made several batches that were not properly waterproofed or that they tried to make breathable. As I like the design I did not throw them but bought some waterproofing fluid to coat them with. As I mentioned I have used many military and some non-military ponchos over the years and from different countries. The Snugpak is my favourite design (if only mine had been supplied fully waterproof) and my second all time favourite is the US army poncho. Apart from when in very windy conditions I prefer ponchos to Goretex jackets any day. Goretex is breathable but only until it starts raining. Thank you for the review.
***** Thanks for the feedback! I haven't tested in a downpour but I hope to see how they hold up over time. I too have a Marmot rain suit (pants/jacket) that has never let me down but a poncho is great for a survival kit and being able to throw over your whole body and gear. I will do an update in the spring. Thanks again for the comment and watching.
I have one of these along with the liner and I would say some are trolling or had unrealistic expectations. Is this the most hardcore bombproof poncho ever built? No, it is not close to the ruggedness of a military issue or civilian Goretex type. There are some thicker sleeveless military types that are set up to tarp better also. If that is what you are after than this isn't it tho it could be modified if one were inclined. What is it then? It is great for an emergency situation or for day to day use in the civilian world. If you had a car breakdown or needed to hoof it to work in the rain than this is awesome. If you need to constantly dive into thorn bushes avoiding enemy fire than get something else. If you are doing relaxed hiking or camping where you aren't bumbling stumbling hauling arse thru thick brush than this is great. If you like and can afford Kifaru woobies, need the hottest new camo pattern to be cool and have to impress Macgyver style with a poncho tarp tent than go that way. This is a mid price range alternative that when used correctly and realisticly is very nice.
Thank you for the time and resource investment that you spend to provide these reviews for all of us who watch. I purchase a lot of items based on your reviews. Just bought this poncho.
I found poncho sleeves a little short by about 2 inches in my opinion ,but is made well overall Additional Liner is very nice! Sleeves on liner are of adequate length. Liner stuff sack is a little small if you stuff it back in but fold and roll seemed to help I purchased mine as the kit from Amazon that included the pillow for $25
I like the pocket on ponchos (you can keep the cords and stakes in it to make a shelter) but this simply is not a poncho, it is a non breathable raincoat and that might mean sweating and discomfort fast on the trail. Also to sit out a storm something needs to be longer.
We bought these for all four of our emergency go bags, but Ive been second guessing that decision.....the reason is that the design of the poncho limits it from being a good multi-use item. As we tested our equipment and hiked with our gear, it was quickly apparent that weight is a HUGE consideration. So having effective multi use items is a big deal. We have snugpak poncho, snugpak jungle blanket, and snugpak tarp. Thinking that having a good large poncho with liner would be more versatile, but with less weight and items
Nice overview. Have you tested it in heavy rain or under the garden hose yet? I hear some of the ponchos aren't 100% water proof. Does it have grommets/ties for improvised shelter and how does it lay out when open? Thanks.
I know I'm necro-ing an old video - but I've been trying to come up with a good way to setup this poncho as a bivy (I have one I received recently as a gift). I can't find information on how to use it like a bivvy anywhere - I've played around with a couple of ideas on climbing in upside down and using the liner as a sleeping bag, but nothing really stands out as a good way of doing it. Do you have any information or ideas on it?
Have you ever tested this poncho for durability? I am looking for something to use in a bug out bag. I was wondering how the poncho would hold up for an application where I to have to walk for a few days in the woods. The military options are nice in that regard, but they are comparatively heavier. I am looking for lightweight gear that can hold up to rough use so that I can shave weight out of my bag.
Seems like a good poncho. I bet if got cold with a light coat on you could put that on over it and put a belt around you to keep warm too. Not just for rain, but wind too....
Hey again good video, good review, it seems you an American that's not on a personal crusade to promote yourself but the products you review, I've had the poncho and liner for few years, and I can say you can use this even in snow fall, FYI Snugpak supplied the Royal Marines with quite few items for use in there artic warfare kit, as you know if marines use kit outside of the normal supply chain it has to be good, keep up with your reviews, look forward to seeing more.
Great review. I've purchased several snugpak products and haven't been disappointed. I'll have to give this a try. I need it for the car. Thanks for sharing. atb
I have had this one for 5 or 6 years now, is stong enough, but not 100% waterproof anymore, but I spray it with a nikwax proofer on the shoulders and arms, and back of the hood where the water collects, seems to help. The pocket often fills with water in stead rain, dont leave your phone in there.
I'm just the opposite of the gentleman who has been let down by Snugpak. I have several of their products and wouldn't hesitate to buy more. In fact I am for Xmas.
Mines terrible I purchased it after using their jackets which are very good for their insulation qualities It’s shower proof, during a downpour within twenty minutes I was soaked through
I'm a organic farmer! And snugpak doesn't hold up to any kind of rain! BUT for 8 bucks get some kiwi camp dry waterproofing at Walmart... and then it works very well.tough as hell!
As much as I like Snugpak items, can't help but close my eyes and listen to the sound this thing makes when you're adjusting it. Sounds like you are wrapped in tinfoil. Always been a fan of the Viet Nam era type ponchos. Heavier yes, but way more durable. Just looks like a big oversized raincoat but I'd still get one in a pinch.
It doesn't appear to have grommets or loops for staking or tying to make shelter. If it doesn't, that's an oversight. I use military surplus ponchos. I carry two on a backpacking trek over days or weeks so I can wear one over a lightweight windblock/rain proof jacket when there's a heavy downpour and two so I can make a fully enclosed shelter if the weather turns foul. I carry one on day hikes, and for overnights in warmer weather. One USGI poncho weighs about 9 ounces more. That's because it's tougher military spec designed to take punishment. Two short loops of paracord through the centre grommets works to pass your thumbs through, and it has an internal cord to tie it around your waist in windy conditions. My tip to you is when the weather is changeable with frequent showers, and there's a dry period, don't take it fully off. Just take the front over your head and secure it to your pack's handle or a shoulder strap using the hood's cinch cord. That way it will dry faster and it's already draped over your pack and quick to put on if the rain comes in again. If you don't mind getting wet knees from drips when the poncho blows about, wear gaiters over your boots that come up to just below the knees. On a smaller person, they probably won't get wet knees. I hate rain pants and only wear them in very cold weather. A poncho allows you freedom from those in the vast majority of situations.
Still raining here in Hawaii now from Hurricane Ana, the storm center was a near miss. I need to get one of these. What retailer has the best price? Also how long did it REALLY take you to get it back into the stuff sack. I caught the edit there.
I've been looking for a good poncho. If I may ask how tall are you? Also have you ever tried a u.s. surplus poncho? Thanks for the review on this one. It really helps when you can see someone wearing it and not just in a picture. Thanks again enjoy your videos.
Thanks LS, Great video and Review! Looked them up, they are around $50-55 w/free s/h, not bad at all and I will soon own one! Liked and Shared! You and Yours Take Care and Watch your 6s!
Poncho wasnt as protective as I thought it would be in 55 degree weather. Felt like I was wrapped in saran wrap that was left in a refridgerator overnight. Tried five snugpak products and all 5 were busts. Will stick with my trusty Hazard 4 Poncho Villa - it keeps too much warmth in for summertime but is excellent in cold weather. As always, though, you do a great job with your reviews...
+AJ Usog Snugpak makes a custom fitted insulated liner for this "poncho" (cagoule). Of course you want good air circulation in warm weather especially in order to vent sweat. I wouldn't want it to be warm without the liner.
Thanks for the great review! I swear like a pig when hiking, is this poncho breathable or allow enough airflow? In a pinch, can this be used as a tarp? Thanks!
Gosh, never heard a pig swear either when it was hiking or just sittin' around. I'm sure glad you didn't say "sweat like a pig" as some ignorant folks do. Pigs don't even have sweat glands and therefore can't sweat. Thus their fondness for puddles to cool off in. A much more accurate animal reference is to "sweat like a racehorse".
So it does not unbutton on the sides to be used as an emergency tarp? I have a Kelty poncho that does that, but I am looking for something a bit better for my haversack hiking kit.
I just received mine today...I agree it's a great poncho, one of the best I've seen. However,the arm length was pretty short and made using the thumb holes almost impossible to use.
Living Survival I'm still going to keep the poncho and agree that it is a fantastic product for the price. I did notice however, that Trekker Outdoors in his TH-cam review also had issues with the sleeves being a bit short. I'm 6'1" with normal length arms and would have liked to have a few more inches of material. Keep up the great videos, we really appreciate your point of view on all things GEAR RELATED.
Just out of curiosity: How tall are you? (so as to give me a better idea where it might fall on me) Knees on you might be floor to me (im on the short side)
I have a snugpak Bergen 100 liter wondering if it will cover that pack. I hear theres a liner that can go in there, do you have a video on that as well. Love to see one if not. Thanks for the review
looks like a well made piece of gear, I'm 6'4" does this poncho fit tall people without too much leg exposure it appears that it does, however I don't know how tall you are......

Lots more to come! Thanks for watching, it is what gets me up in the morning!
Got me one today and tried it on.Your review told me things about it that i didn't even know it had.Much appreciated!

DAMN that's nice! been looking for something like that. I like the fact that the pack can also be covered. Great review as always. keep em coming.
Thanks a ton for watching and the comment!

Good review. You sold me. I too, have tried other ponchos, only to have them tear and shred. Good review, thanks.
I want one
I’m a big fan of snugpack
Great video
Good review and straight to the point, I turn off so many videos coming out of the states because they are so long winded,
Thanks for the review
Its gents like you that make the buying process easier

Steven Berry thank you, that means a lot to me. I will keep them coming.
enjoyed the review. thanks. how do you find the hood? does it cinch down well?
Excellent video ! Thank you for sharing.
nice 90s hairstyle broski.
Nice overview.
Have you tested it in heavy rain or under the garden hose yet?

thank you! have a happy holiday.
the only pancho you need for life!
Can you tell us what pack you are showing in the video? Like the poncho too!
Update on long term use, has the waterproofing been affected?
Yeah I need a poncho so this looks like a good choice
Either not water proof or doesn't breath. When I'm active wearing this I end up wet. Not sure it it's water getting through or sweat not getting out.
Another good one Ben!
Looks like a great product !
TY!

I've had one for a couple of years, and it hasn't failed me once. Oh, and I live in Oregon. The wet part. ;))
+Sean Lewis nice, i use mine from time to time and like that it can also cover my pack.
+Living Survival got a Snugpak Sleeka 35 as well. It's got a built in rain cover. Another sweet Snugpak product.

Is the pocket on the front to fold the poncho into itself?

A good poncho is essential part of a pack. I agree 100%.
Comes in handy for sure and a lot easier than carrying full rain gear. Thanks for watching.

Nice brother! where I live, good rain gear is worth it's weight in gold.
Agreed.
Thanks for sharing,great product
that's a nice poncho, for sure!
Thanks ;)-
Awesome video.
The rugged Swiss Poncho is a bargain, and longer, allowing you to sit out a storm in it.
Looks ridiculous tho
Great Video. Thanks for sharing...
very nice ponzo!very nice review!
Thanks!
Works great for hunchbacks
and hunchfronts

Thanks, awesome!
Yea I need to invest in a GOOD quality Poncho.
Yeah, I never knew there was much difference but after putting this on I was like OH, I'm never carrying rain gear again, just this!
Favorite poncho 2017?
LS:
Best waterproof poncho these days?
Need one ASAP
Bump
Thanks for the great review! I swear like a pig when hiking, is this poncho breathable or allow enough airflow? In a pinch, can this be used as a tarp? Thanks!
+snakemonkey555 its just as breathable as a typical rain jacket which honestly isn't all that breathable. yes you could use it as a tarp.
Gosh, never heard a pig swear either when it was hiking or just sittin' around. I'm sure glad you didn't say "sweat like a pig" as some ignorant folks do. Pigs don't even have sweat glands and therefore can't sweat. Thus their fondness for puddles to cool off in. A much more accurate animal reference is to "sweat like a racehorse".
So it does not unbutton on the sides to be used as an emergency tarp? I have a Kelty poncho that does that, but I am looking for something a bit better for my haversack hiking kit.
***** nope this one doesn't. but their all weather shelter does button to be used as a bivy.
what pack was in the video
nice poncho and nice video.
I have a Snugpack sleeping bag
They make great products.
Grubkat I agree.
how's the stitching?
Sold. Thanks! :D
+Adam Carter thanks for the comment Adam.
I just received mine today...I agree it's a great poncho, one of the best I've seen. However,the arm length was pretty short and made using the thumb holes almost impossible to use.

+Rey “Wolverine” Lindsey I dont have a video on that one. i think it would go over it though.
+Living Survival tyvm for reply
Nice vid. Tnx bro.
Excellent review.
you just made them a sale. their bergen rucksack is awesome too.
tom jones thanks for checking it out and the comment.
i can use a poncho as a footprint for my recon tent
have you ever had any problems with it? stitching come loose? tears? etc. . . .
+Christy S the stitching on snugpak isn't the best but holds up pretty well across all the gear I have from them.
built more along the lines of a rain parka than a poncho...good review, thanks
+MTwoodsrunner thanks for checking it out.
you bet, thanks for all your quality reviews amigo...woods
Would this be a better choice than a new Army acu poncho?
Might be lighter weight, not sure.
I think it would be interesting to mod it. shorten it to shirt length, maybe a 2 inches longer, then you have a poncho shirt.
the beast true, that would be cool.
looks like a well made piece of gear, I'm 6'4" does this poncho fit tall people without too much leg exposure it appears that it does, however I don't know how tall you are......
I'm 5'10" and I would think it would still be ok for taller people. Thanks for watching!
Ty.....
ben terwellen do you by chance know if military issued ponchos fit your height?
Cool thanks for the info. What is the price point?
$50
Thanks.
Mine was about as much use as a chocolate teapot
Leaked badly and left me cold and had to return home
how would this compare to the frogg toggs poncho?
+Magician1263 never liked frogg toggs. They are good for the ultra low price though.
i've been on a snugpak buying spree lately. prob gonna get this soon
sides don't open so not a poncho - might be better called a really big rain coat.
that was brand new ...it had never came out of that stuff sack before
DOES THE PONCHO HAVE A FEUL SMELL TO IT ?🇺🇸
For reference, how tall are you?
5' 10"
