Good item
(2024-11-24)
The poncho arrived very fast. ( in fact just before the mailstrike by PostesCanada). The opening for the head is a little small. I can barely get my head through there. The snaps seem to be a little fragile They bent when I undid them. Overall, the poncho Does indeed look good as a reproduction. I am content with my purchase. The quality is as per my expectations from WPG. Cheers

I am very pleased with the quality and construction of this poncho. Now I regard it as essential kit stowed in my 1928 Haversack along with shelter half. In addition to this ponchos primary function, I now have an authentic ground sheet for use with my shelter half pup tent.

Very impressed with the quality of the material and construction! All snaps and grommets are installed properly (no smashed or pinched grommets and the snaps don't stick to the point of tearing out). Worn it once in a pretty heavy rain and as long as you're wearing a brimmed hat (or helmet) only a little water gets in the neck opening.
Definitely a good buy.

WPG Poncho, Highly Recommended

I received my poncho, barely six days after having ordered it. It is of the highest quality, to which I have come to expect (to no disappointment) from WPG.
It was either this or a WWII raincoat from WWII Impressions. In both quality and price, I am pleased that I chose to buy again from WPG. I look forward to my next purchase sometime soon.

Not only did the item ship quickly, but the quality and durability were immediately obvious. Great reproduction for any reenactor doing WWII GI.

This is a very pliable and strong item. It does not perfectly copy the usual colors found on originals, but it is totally functional and will serve its purpose very well.

What can I say? Bring on the wartime downpours, fine and well-made product. Please replace raincoat you sold me - the one made of thick "roofing felt" - with one made of this pliable material.

Arrived quickly and I am very pleased with the quality, it even has excess glue on it just like originals did. Should be a very functional piece of gear.
Kept me dry
(2012-07-16)
I bought mine mainly for a groundcloth in my tent, although I will obviously use it for its intended purpose as well. This last weekend it kept me and the gear on it dry despite being rained on through an open tent flap
GREAT PIECE OF GEAR

When I buy my reeacting equipment , it has to be funtional and not just for show. When the poncho arrived, I was impressed. This is a great piece of equipment. It is very well made and well serve anyone many years. This thing is tough. Great job WPG. Plan on ordering another one from you.
Fantastic

Another item to round out my Infantry Impression. You only need to get (needlessly) soaked once, and you realize that this really nicely done reproduction not only works but is period-correct.

I saw a poncho a friend of mine bought from WPG and madeup my mind that I needed one also. I was impressed with the quality and workmanship. I am glad that I made the decision to purchase a poncho also.

Hi Jerry,
The poncho(rubberized)arrived very quick and packaged well. The poncho was as described. I bought this item to wear on a regular basis to keep me and my stuff dry. So that's all i have to do now is find a suitable hood!
Thank you.

Now this is what I am talking about! The damn raincoat should have been made out of this material! I have an NOS 1945 US Army Cargo Pack and the material is identical to what you used on the poncho. Same texture, weight, color. If you were to remake the raincoat out of this stuff I would seriously consider buying another one. The current raincoat is too stiff to wear.

Hi Jerry,
The US Early WWII US Army Rubberized Poncho the one I got has the rubberized part is on the inside and the cloth part is on the outside, it is well made but it apers to be inside out, the Australian Army in WW 2 had a rain coat/ground sheet made of similar material however the Australian one was that the rubberized part is on the outside.
This helps to keep it clean when used as a ground sheet, and when used as a rain coat it shines as in the wet most things seam to shine when wet.
I also have seen a US one in a book it apears to be rubberized on the outside how ever it did not say if it was an early or later type of Poncho.
Please let me know if it was made insidout ?
Regards Paul
Paul,
This poncho is copied exactly from an original one. The fabric side is on the outside to reduce the shine. US raincoats were also made this way.
Regards,
Jerry
Well Thank you Jerry a nother great item, keep up the great work 10 out of 10.

This is an excellent quality repro, very sturdy and useful, and looks great too. Well worth the money - I highly recommend it.

I've been looking for a decent, heavy duty poncho to keep in the boot of the car (for emergencies) for a long time now.
All you can get in Australia at the moment are cheap rubbish, even in the military disposal stores.
However, WPG have really out done themselves with this poncho. Perfect! Heavy duty & water-proof (I particularly like the water-proofing around the collar seam; you won't find this in any modern-style poncho).
Can also double as water-proof groundsheet or cover/shelter.
Thoroughly recommend it, not only for it's re-enactment application but also as an extremely useful and practical item.
