History
Originally used in the Vietnam War, this lightweight poncho liner was meant as a replacement for the wool blanket. Compared to the blanket, it is a lot lighter, a bit warmer, dries faster, and can be packed into a very small space .It is also known as a Woobie, because: "Without one, you woobie cold!". After being introduced, the rain poncho & liner combo soon became the standard-issue sleeping gear for hot climates or general summer use.
Features
Made from lightweight, durable, and dirt-repelling 100% Ripstop Nylon with 100% Polyester inner insulation for lightweight warmth. The materials and overall quality are excellent. Several color options, and the measurements and weight differ a little bit from color to color. Made in the USA according to strict government specifications.
