    Ventile has this aura from it’s initial use. RAF pilots were dying in the channel before AS rescue got there, ventile would keep them dry
    Long enough to survive. BYT, as others note, prolonged exposure and you get wet. A good, untreated canvas tent, those polish shelters and Russian Plash Palatkas will stay dry- until a pressure point ( shoulder) or touching a tent wall starts a drip point. Those surplus items were for dry snow mostly.
    Bushcraft Spain makes a Oilskin Poncho.
    It’s a lovely thing, not as expensive ( still dear) but like all oilskin HEAVY. It will repel burning embers and probably small calibre or guage weapons from poachers.
    The modern ponchos are lightweight, tear easily and can delaminate over time.

    I had one years ago. Loved it. But if there's alot of perpetual cold & wet, it never gets dry and feels heavier and heavier. I wore it out eventually (storing folded repeating the same folds allows for weaknesses in the folded area). Decided polycotton gets on better with cold wet weather. But am considering a waxed cotton one next...

    Great review, looks like an interesting bit of kit that’d get you out of a pickle if you were caught short on a hike.

    That looks very well made. I have a couple of DPM ponchos I bought from military surplus back in the 90's for about a fiver each. I've mainly used them as tarps when camping with a bivvy bag. It gives a dry space around the head end to get changed or cook if it's raining and they pack down to around one litre. Great versatile bit of kit!

    looks very neat tbh - you could use a big packstrap as belt and "keep it rolled up while packed"-belt

    Only issue I have with a poncho as a tarp is that you are going to get wet setting it up if it is already raining unless you have another waterproof to wear, and if you do, then why carry a poncho and not a proper tarp?

    I'd love to hear how they justify their pricing.!
    Economics is not at all in their skillset.

      Ventile cotton is one of the most expensive materials in the world, anc it's hand made to order
