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.

§10 – Final provisions

The poncho wears well but is significantly smaller than the USGI poncho (shorter by 5.5″ in length and 7″ in width!). I’m 5’11” and this poncho goes down to the center of my knee cap and rides up about 3-4″ from my wrist. It is a hot wearing poncho due to the rubberized coating on the inside.
