The best surplus rain poncho you can get. Good old fashioned rubber coated stuff, this holds water almost as well as a military towel. Heavy, but that's what you get when you go all the way.

The sides can be buttoned together or attached to another poncho, so this thing doubles as a rain shelter. Also, the US Army poncho liner can be tied to this. The Bundeswehr rain cape has a reinforcement strip running through the sides, and this is where all the grommets and snaps are placed. Moreover, the grommets and snaps are strong stuff too. It's a cape that won't let you down.

Genuine German surplus

Used, still in perfectly serviceable condition. These do have a little rubbery smell to them naturally, just so you know. Some might have small German flags on the shoulders, but not all of these.
