USGI Industries Military Woobie Blanket | Thermal Insulated Camping Blanket, Poncho Liner | Large, Portable, Insulation, Water-Resistant, for Hiking, Survival | Compression Carry Bag

I forgot how awesome my old woobie (pet name we had for the poncho liner in the service), but now that I have this one again I'm reminded of why these were one of our most coveted issued items. Other than the obvious, warmth, the poncho liner is very versatile. If you're a hiker or camper you're like me and probably like to pack things that have multiple uses to conserve space in your pack and just as important, to save weight. The poncho liner in conjunction with your poncho can make the difference between a cold and wet hike and a warm, comfortable and dry hike. Though it doesn't fold down particularly small it IS smaller than another sleeping bag and when used inside a lightweight bag it has kept me toasty warm down into the low 20's at night.This poncho liner is wider and longer than most of the other liners I've seen on Amazon and when spread out it was big enough to cover both my wife and I on a queen size air mattress with a foot to spare on both sides and its length was plenty long, even for some like myself (I'm 6'3").Versatility and multi-use is the name of the game when choosing items to go in your pack, whether it's for a 3-day hike or for your bug out bag, this woobie is great. It's also a perfect item to keep in your vehicle in case you get stranded, it'll keep you warm and comfortable while you wait for the tow truck. Online you can find many other uses for the poncho and poncho liner. Combine your liner with the actual poncho and you've got an excellent makeshift waterproof sleeping bag, a tent and blanket, or a lean-to and blanket in case your out on a hike and the weather turns bad on you and you have to hunker down and wait it out. There's a reason the poncho and liner is used and taught in military outdoor survival schools.The edges are reinforced and the rip stop nylon can take a beating but it is soft enough to cuddle with on the couch, as a matter of fact my 8 year old routinely grabs mine to watch TV under when it's a little chilly and he has even figured out how to use the ties on the edges (meant for attaching it to the poncho or tying it together to use as a sleeping bag) to make a killer blanket fort, and we all know how important THOSE are!To sum it up, this woobie is top notch, top of the line design and materials, and the price is very affordable, especially considering all the uses it has. I have purchased a few more for my boys to use on Boy Scout campouts and I also got one for a buddy who is a veteran as well for his birthday. He swears it's the best birthday gift he's received since the Nintendo he got for his 10th birthday. You just can't go wrong with this one, from a guy who has used this product from combat in Afganistan to camping out with my Boy Scouts, I recommend this poncho liner to everyone. Definitely 5 stars!!!

This is the perfect blanket for summer and winter. Keep you warm but not hot. It’s very thin and not heavy. Feels good to the skin I recommend it for home or camping. Just a great throw

I bought two of these, for my wife and me. I have never used them in outside, but we did use one last winter when our rv propane system sprung a leak. We had no heat at night because we were not in a full hookup site and couldn’t run our generator after 10pm and before 7am(campground rules). So we put a sheet on the bed and this poncho liner with a light blanket on top. The first night we expected to get cold. We were pleasantly surprised with the way it held our body heat in. It got down to 40 degrees for a couple of hours each night, but we never got cold, in fact we had to turn down the blanket and use just the liner. After the first night we didn’t even put the blanket on, just used the liner. And we stayed quite warm. My wife, who is the coldest natured person I know, didn’t want to leave the liner when she got up. It was almost like having our electric blanket on us. We weren’t prepared because we didn’t anticipate the propane leak. We didn’t cut our stay short because we slept as warmly as when we had heat. We had two small electric heaters but we couldn’t use them without the generator running. But we didn’t mind because the poncho liner did such a good job. Probably because it is listed as water resistant, heat can’t escape easily and you stay warm. It is bulkier than GI issue but it works as well as the real deal. I gave it 5 stars because that is MY opinion of it. I found it to be very warm and retained heat very well. While it is true that I only experienced around 40 degrees inside and protected from the wind, I would have no hesitation in using in the woods with a poncho or tarp as protection from wind and rain. Try it. I honestly believe you will be satisfied with it.

Warm and well made. Nice carrying bag also

Just because it's lightweight, doesn't mean it's not warm. I took this on a backpacking trek. in the mid-lower 50's late evening. hit the upper 40's just before daybreak. This was enough for most of the night. I had packed a 90%/10% wool blanket, and the wool blanket + the liner kept me warm and comfortable. Keep in mind that I also had a thermal pad I was laying on. Your mileage may vary, but this is still a good addition to your backpacking / camping gear set.

I received a recommendation for these from a friend of mineand ordered 2 for sleeping bag covers/liners for an upcoming trip to Africa. I had no real expectation of what I was going to end up with, even after doing a bunch of independent research online, on Amazon and on Youtube. I am very pleasantly surprised that these will work very well for what we intend to use them for and are very happy with the purchase after having a chance to inspect them firsthand.

High quality product that keeps you warm and dry, that also stores neatly in a convenient compression bag. Fantastic addition to your sleeping bag and/or camping needs or simply for extra snuggle gear at home. Highly recommended!

I do a lot of storm work for the utility company and whenever you have down time you try to take a nap this get me really warm while I was taking a nap between calls it was really nice to have makes a great pillow too

Thanks.

Thabks.
