Note: An older poncho will be better for colder weather, but... you shouldn’t be relying on your poncho to keep you warm in the first place. There are a few different reasons why you might choose to use something other than a sleeping bag.

If you sleep in such a combination longer than 6 hours you will get a whet poncho liner or sleeping bag. You get a condensation problem in the poncho - emergency bivvy bag. Never choose cheap, flimsy materials when it comes to a survival poncho. You need a durable material that can beat the elements and can be stored for long periods . Ripstop is the best material for durability. The reason is, the special weave of the fabric prevents the rips from spreading once they appear.

Also, reviewers used it in a variety of tough conditions without the material failing or the seams coming apart. If you’ve just run a marathon or have broken your ankle in the mountains and are awaiting rescue, a space blanket to wrap around you is an absolute godsend. However, making a deliberate choice to spend the night sleeping under one is eye-popping lunacy unless there’s really no other option. A Bivy Bag Poncho liner (known in the military as the woobie) is a piece of fabric that goes underneath your poncho to make it warmer. Nylon- Ripstop nylon is durable, stretchable, and abrasion-resistant. Nylon is mold and mildew resistant and it’s usually coated with waterproof materials. However, PU-coated nylon isn’t the most breathable material.

Users have spent hours in heavy rain while wearing this poncho and stayed bone dry. The seams are taped to prevent any leakage from the edges. For additional protection, there are press stud buttons on the side.

Firstly, the poncho is too long for users around 5 feet. Quite simply, dragging it around your feet isn’t ideal when negotiating technical terrains. Some users also found the hood to be too large. That obstructed side vision in some situations. When you’re considering alternatives to sleeping bags, it’s worth keeping in mind that the sleeping bag is only one element in a wider system to keep you warm and comfortable. Carrying Whether you are doing a short day walk or you are looking to do a longer expedition for a few days, the load carrying kit that you use to transport all your other gear can be the difference between making it to the end and cutting your trip short.

Some common features needed in a survival poncho are adjustable hoods, metal eyelets, and snap fastenings. And it does that by using the special Paratex dry fabric. The material comes with a ripstop construction and a hydrophilic PU coating. The material also has a soft feel that makes it comfortable against the skin.

My biggest con is size; for wider individual it could be an issue. Not height wise as it is 79” long, but it is rather narrow at 27.5” If you have wide shoulders or are just a big individual, it may be too small. For myself, length wise it fits fine but width wise, it is at the point of being uncomfortable. I have a shoulder diameter of 48” and if you are any larger than that, it will be too tight. There are two main kinds of sleeping bag liner. The thin silk or cotton ones are for keeping your sleeping bag clean, while the fleece ones are for adding warmth to a lighter bag. There are metal grommets that allow you to use this as a sunshade or a tarp. However, the light material isn’t easy to set up in windy conditions. What’s more, the grommets are reinforced for durability.
