I've still got my old heavy OD Green Nam issue poncho. I hated the new light weight ones they issued us in the Guard.

Egads, those things never blocked out water, especially the ones with the CAMO PRINT on them.
The old ones, we had THREE in the whole armory, worked MUCH better.
Unfortunately, those three were issued.

I lucked out, I had the newer camo printed ones.
They were crap.
The old 1960's/70's style rain suit, which smelled the high heaven always, we called them puke suits.
They were always MUCH better than the pancho.
Unfortunately we couldn't get any replacements for them.
