Nothing, and I mean NOTHING will replace the G.I. Woobie (aka poncho liner). The best thing you can do with that lightweight piece of equipment is to sew a second one to it along three sides. In warmer weather, slide between the two liners as a lightweight sleeping envelope, and in cooler weather, you double it over yourself to stay comfortable down to 20 degrees. A standard poncho can be attached to substitute as a bivy sack. It works great with a GI issue jungle hammock that is set up on the ground, and a lightweight ground pad.
This technique has been stress tested, BTW. I did this often during my military days in southern Germany
