In the land of dykes, canals, coastal spray, wet winters, wet summers, getting sopping wet is a constant problem. That's why our Netherlander friends adapted the US military's poncho and Britain's DPM for their own use when they needed something lightweight, effective, durable, and militantly stylish.
Whether you're out innawoods for a hike, behind enemy lines in the PNW, or just need to stay hidden and dry when your new stepdad comes over, the Dutch DPM poncho is a perfect fit.

Condition Guide
Excellent: Poncho has only seen minor use. No tears, rips, or holes are present. All hardware is functional, and intact.
Good: Poncho has seen use, but is ready for more. May have at most a few pinprick holes. Still ready for use in the rain, and if those holes are patched with a patch or superglue you're 100% set.
Serviceable: Poncho has seen use, and to retain water repelling abilities may need several holes repaired with patches. If you're not in the rain though, it'll function the same (and look just as good).
