Fox OutdoorProducts Poncho Liner

Former army infantryman. I was really excited to get a soft woobie. This made in China knock off woobie showed up. It’s heavier than a woobie and the outside material is made out of polyester not nylon. Only the inside should be polyester, the outside should feel smooth like a parachute (nylon). To me, using this knock off is like cuddling with a somewhat softer tarp. Not a fan. It’s not smooth and awesome like the ones I used in the army. Going to return this and choose a vendor that sells authentic poncho liners and not this. I will say that some people might like this blanket, especially if they never felt the smooth, gentle, loving embrace, stronger than a parent’s love, that a real woobie provides. If you were in the Army or Marines, you’ll know exactly what I mean. And if you were in the Air Force, think of 1,000 thread count silk sheets at your Hilton hotel during deployment -that’s what a real woobie should feel like. Hope you guys/gals find yourself a good Woobie. :-)Update August 2020:I’m bumping this woobie up to 3 stars (from 2). It’s probably a 3-4 star blanket, but I’m not sure I’d call it a woobie given its material. I ended up not returning it, and have used it camping. It works well for putting under your sleeping bag or if you use an air mattress/pad, it can keep branches from being blunt/puncturing. Also, you lose more heat from the ground beneath you, so if you use this under you while you sleep, I think it being polyester material actually works out well here. Not a bad blanket, just not like the woobie you would remember from the military that was nylon with a poly interior (since this one is poly inside and out).

My boyfriend and I are both veterans. We were both issued woobies while we served but had to give them back when we left. My boyfriend particularly loved his woobie and asked me for one for Christmas. I wanted to get him the black one so it wouldn’t clash with our not so military decor. He didn’t care what color he got anyways lol. He was thrilled when he opened his gift. I’ve been waiting to do a review just to be sure it was a quality item and I can say for certain it is. It’s exactly like the issued one. Perhaps actually a little larger which is a huge plus because my boyfriend is over 6ft. He sleeps with it every night and he says is nice and warm. No problems with the seams or stitching whatsoever. I highly reccomend this item :)

I bought this poncho liner because my military issued liner is old, tattered, and is my dog’s favorite blanket. The liner itself is very stiff and it has a plastic tarp like feel to it. It is also a little heavier than I expected it to be. It seems like it will be pretty durable and I’m hoping after a few washes and a couple months of use it will soften a bit. It’s to early to tell if I like this item but what I can say is if your expecting it to be like an official US Military liner then you will be a little disappointed.

I bought this for two reasons, primarily for a summer backpacking sleeping option instead of a sleeping bag because it's too hot for a bag,but also for something to put over me while watching TV in my over-airconditioned house. The material is not quite what I had in mind as it's sort of like what the lining of an outdoor jacket is made of. That said, it makes it even better for backpacking because it's got some resistance to getting wet (not waterproof by any mans, but water beads up on it and wipes right off unless it's getting soaked). It's under two pounds and packs nicely into my 55 liter backpack. It's perfect for when the temp. on summer nights drops down into the 50s or 60s.

First of all, I have never served so I don't really know what a real woobie should feel like but I just received a blanket that is actual nylon on the outside and there is a world of difference in comfort. This blanket is good for a ground blanket for picnics, or for insulation for camping and it could be used for an emergency blanket. That being said it is stiff and bulky. I decided to keep it and order a different blanket to use as an actual blanket.From what I have found if you are looking for something soft and comfortable, look for something with a nylon shell instead of polyester.

Definitely not woobie material which is a huge shame! That was the best part of the woobie! However, I do like the size of it and it is relatively warm. Though I would contend a woobie is warmer!Also, the photo I added makes it seem like there is a hole for your head to wear as a poncho... There in fact is no head hole... I was sad. Mostly sad I looked lol.Reasonable poncho blanket. Definitely not a woobie... If that's what you want, keep looking

Despite initially being put off by other reviewers comments of the poor quality I decided to give this product a try do to the low price. I am a 'poncho liner [AKA Poor Man's Satin Sheets] snob'. I've slept with one since 1975 when I got my first one. I recently moved from Nevada to Virginia and had to leave my Liner behind and needed a new one. The stitching was well done and I have had no issues with this product and do recommend it for those wanting to try a Poncho Liner for the first time. The only thing I want to add is; "If all else fails, Follow the Instructions! Do Not put in a dryer!! Air dry or the filling will melt"

Poncho Liner aka Woobie is exactly what I wanted! My husband and son were in the Army and these are super popular to use as a lightweight blanket as well as a poncho liner. We already have several in our house for each family member but I wanted one that I could leave in my car....it's lightweight, rolls up nice and tight and is so much nicer than a car blanket.It's exactly what I was looking for.

A little stiffer than my issued woobie but just as warm
