 The beloved WubbieOct 28, 2009
By E. M. Van Court

Don't leave home without it.
Of all the pieces of U.S. military kit I've ever seen (through 20+ years of miltiary service), none equal the Wubbie for value for money, utility, and comfort.
The original idea was a quilted, water resistant blanket that could be attached to a poncho (hence the bits of string on the corners and edges) to make a warm weather sleeping bag. Yes, I've actually heard of people doing this, but this is such a limited vision of what the Wubbie is capable of.
Picnic blanket, quilt, bedspread, couch cover, used by itself as a sleeping back, in survival kits, for air travel, pet beds (with or without human consent) etc. I used to keep mine by the couch for siesta time, but it kept getting stolen. In Germany, soldiers would take an unlined rainjacket and a poncho liner to the tailor and get the best cold-wet weather jacket in the world back.
If the camo is an issue, it is available in solid black and olive green, but I don't care about the appearance.
My Wubbie is not for sale or trade. Get your own and keep your paws off mine!

Every home should have half a dozen of these!Dec 25, 2011
By Dave M.
I bought my first poncho liner in Vietnam in 1964. It was one of the old ones from back when they were made from parachute silk. Now, almost fifty years later, I'm still using it. I guess I'm a 65 year old man with a blankie! It's ragged and torn but still usable. I've since bought half a dozen of the newer poncho liners made from polyester and they're almost as good, though to be honest if I could find the silk ones I'd buy them. My wife and I have half a dozen of them now. We keep them in the bedroom and in the family room. We never go on a trip without them. I give them as gifts and everyone to whom I've given them loves them. Take the title of my review seriously. Every home should have half a dozen poncho liners.

This is a great item, having had one in Vietnam it was one of the best pieces of equipment ever issued to the Marines.

 Poncho liner/blanketOct 05, 2012
By Traveler1226
These things are very lite and will keep you warm in cool weather.
But they are a mess to keep folded up in your pack. I use nylon compression straps
to keep mine under control. Saves a lot of wasted space in your pack.
But again they weigh almost nothing. Worth the trouble for me.
I use a wool blanket most of the time camping. But these make a great ground
clothe insulator. Much easier to handle than a foam bed roll and doubles as
a comfortable shoulder wrap next to the fire. Another great thing is that they
dry very quickly as long as they are not completely soaked through.
they are a nice option for your cold weather sleeping bundle.

Poncho LinersMay 14, 2012
By F.D. Rhea

My old poncho liners were really getting worn - after 25 years of use. I ask a couple of guys I knew that were retired military, to try to replace them -- and while good intentioned this really was getting nowhere - I decided to look for them on line and there they were - exactly what I wanted, not replicas - but Genuine Military Issue, down to the tag, with the name/nomenclature! I ordered two of them and they arrive in two days -- everything I wanted with great shipping time to boot. I would definitely refer this shopping experience to anyone that knows just how great poncho liners are from lying around the house to lightweight warmth when you go hiking, no need for any extra weight. I had a very good experience with this purchase, Thank you !
