Woobies (poncho liners)

[Tim K]

I've never seen one in person, but these seem to be loved by darn near everyone.

I'm on the hunt for a few for the vehicles and for my bob.

I use them on the bed all summer for a cover if it cools down

They are great for a lot of things, except as an actual liner for a poncho. Must have for camping since it rolls up nicely.

Probably not the cheapest ($24.99), they have woodland as well. I usually buy my wool shirts from these guys, they haven't steered me wrong yet:

Speaking of wool.... they have something similar to the Italian military wool blankets I really love them!

correct... 8 years in the Corps and never actually used it in conjunction with my poncho.

I did for one night out side of the shelter half at Camp Pendelton in Boot. Other than that never again for its intended purpose. I love the damn things though, best combination pillow/blanket ever invented.

Every single day of field problems at fort drum involved the poncho, poncho liner, and the sleeping mat. Worst nights of sleep ever, but I stayed alive.

Sleeping mat down, sleeping bag over it, wrap up in the woobie and cover with the poncho to keep the snow and ice off ya. Been there, done that.

The Kifaru woobie is $150, but worth every goddamn penny. Packs light, stuffs down well, and is very, very warm. Definitely warmer than a normal woobie.

It's my sleeping bag through early archery season, and goes in the bivy with the down quilt for cold temps. Great blanket but not real cheap.

Always just called them liners. Now that said they were always nice to have. In the Medical Corps we used them with the old casualty blankets. I will say that the swiss poncho (listed as an add-on) is one big/heavy SOB compared to the old US poncho but your not going to get wet in it and for $9 I have a couple.
