In May 2018 we upgraded the hoods on the standard MEST Ponchos. They are now larger hoods and have a binder strip sewn in the seams to divert water.
The MultiCam® fabric has up to five times the amount of water repellent coating of other nylon material, as well as being infused with a fire retardant.
We recommend sealing this poncho with our Fast Cure Seam Sealant found on the line/shelter accessories page. You simply apply a thin even coat along the hood seams being sure to cover all of the exposed threads/folds in the fabric and let stand overnight to dry. This works best when you seal the outside layer of the poncho.
Made in the USA. All Multicam items are Berry Amendment Compliant and a letter is available upon request to US Government and Military organizations.

Great quality
Great quality, USA made. What else more could you ask for?

Great poncho
Sealed the seams with recommended compound and used the day after in very damp conditions. Kept me dry through the night. Snaps and lashing points seem strong and durable. I am very pleased with the decision to go with a more expensive option rather than the $30-$40 Amazon special. I compared it directly with one of those and the quality is far and greater. If you're looking for NiR compliance and lasting quality, look no further.

Multi cam poncho
After reading several reviews, I decided to purchase 1 myself. I also bought the sealer I figured whats another 7 dollars when a poncho costs +120 dollars. The phrase "you get what you payed for" is absolutely true with this product. After the sealer dried I folded up the poncho put back into the pouch, and placed in my bug out bag with paracord. I will be purchasing another poncho, the khaki color next time. If you are on the fence like I was weather to purchase, rest assure you want.to buy!!

MEST™ PONCHO - MULTICAM
Excellent product. Purchased for an early summer/early fall "just in case it rains" rain gear/shelter. Excellent quality.

High quality
Just like the poncho I was issued in the Army. Very durable with enough hood space for headgear without pulling it off. I initially went with a cheaper option on amazon but I was highly disappointed with the low quality. I honestly recommend this product if you’ve served and are looking for quality that can withstand the elements. It’ll be worth the money.

Best poncho
I went through several ponchos trying to find a replacement for my USGI, which was finally disintegrating! They were all too small. The Mest Poncho was the biggest and lightest one I could find. I was a bit hesitant due to the price, but I wish I had just bought it to begin with, would have been cheaper than buying the 5 cheaper crappy ponchos I went through before this!! Well worth it in the end!

Highly dependable and won't let you down
This product doesn't have enough reviews so I thought I'd add mine. I own the 2017 large mest poncho, and I've used it in several hurricanes and snow storms and it has never let me down, always kept me dry, and still looks almost brand new. I've tested it in every weather condition as a tarp, ground cloth and poncho. As a poncho, it will build up condensation depending on how much gear you wear under it, but due to the side snaps it is very breathable. The only time water can seep through is in torrential downpour (I have yet to find a tarp that won't do that in that kind of condition), but combined with a light and breathable water proof jacket, you will stay bone dry even after 6+ hours in freezing rain. It will last you a life time and worth every penny.
