Thank you, this was very helpful! Appreciate the heads up 😊
Not fake....just an older version !!!!
Thank you, helped confirm that mine is legitimate.
Very interesting i have one. Got it from portsmout not amason. Mine is genuine import from germany. The instructions are written in german. Used by german army and nato. Very good. Not used it yet, but will i expect.
as far as green tag goes it is legit.over the years i bought many different mil tec products from military shops(not online) and they all had the same green tag. some items were bought years ago and some just few months ago so tag hadn't changed over time. never seen the black tag until today. so i would more question black tag(even though the quality seemed better). and overall i am not too impressed with quality of mil tec products
Here we go again, aways someone to talk about what is Fake and what is Original. End of the day if mostly keeps you dry it's good to go. I have one that is event bigger fake than this one,but guess what...I don't care,cause the FAKE ONE is better than NONE ONE. You people have to stop with that competition for THE BEST AND ORIGINAL gear. Sometimes it's about matter of money. Everyone like to have the most expensive,multifunctional and durable stuff in his backpack,but not aways we have the opportunity to get the best,and that's OK. 😑 Word FAKE is not an option when we talk about need of some piece of gear.
They seem similar. Would it be worth repairing the fake one?
Great Video I just got my woodland camo poncho out and checked it. I got lucky. 👍
The tag is legit, you can't go by that. I bought one out of the Sportsman Guide store and saw it had the green tag in the store. We opened it up and it's a Legit Mil-Tec poncho, all the correct features, just had a green tag on it.
Mil-Tec poncho is cheap copy of real poncho and somebody make cheap copy of cheap copy of that poncho? WTF?! I am old I guess.
Neither of those look very breathable. Do you end up getting soaked with sweat when wearing it in warmer weather?
They are not breathable at all, but due to the open, flowing nature of a poncho it's not as bad as you think. Nothing's perfect though.
bonjour a tous , quel poids peut supporter le vrai poncho miltec quand on s'en sert de hamac ?
Thanks for the data. I got one from Amazon today and it is legit.
Can you demonstrate the features of the REAL Mil-Tec poncho, the different ways it can be used.
Optics planet sells the real ones.
I just got one from there and it has the green tag I will have to look inside at the waist tabs.
How much did you pay for the fake one? I just ordered a black one on Amazon that was $26-30... thinking I may have to return it immediately :(
I paid $34.95 on Amazon for the fake poncho and it qualified for free prime 2-day shipping. I paid ~$30 for the real one and ~$15 for shipping and it took 2-weeks to get here, in total it was almost ~$50. If you think your poncho is fake I'd return it if you can, what is the point of the poncho if it's not going to keep you dry.
Just back from Amazon and I checked the retailer and here a paste of there information.

That’s a bit disconcerting for me because I purchased the mil-tec 88L military rucksack, it has the same ticket 🎫 picture as the fake poncho here. But after two weeks of using my rucksack, I’ve been really thrilled with it. Got mine off of Amazon as well and Now gonna see if it is from the same seller as you mentioned.
just write an email to see...
For all we know the 'fakers' stole a real tag off some real miltec stuff or copied it exactly. I don't know. In my opinion it's not as important if it's 'real or fake'. What's important is 'works or doesn't'. If your ruck is working for you and you're happy, you've got nothing to worry about. I wish you the best of luck man, thank you for leaving a comment.
Cool ty I got real one in atacs Woodland green
Yeah, I got the solid green but wished I ended up buying a cooler pattern. Thanks for the comment!
Appreciate your taking the time to make this video to help others out. I for one would be interested in your review of the real Mil-Tec poncho.
Thanks for your input! You're the first person to actually ask for a review. I want to do some more testing first so that I can give the most accurate review. I've spent one night out underneath the poncho in a diamond configuration in consistent rain and it held up perfect. I was in the fetal position all night though trying to stay dry underneath the small poncho, so I am not incredibly excited to do that again. But I might throw together a review video after I've put more time and stress on it, but so far so good.
tks for the tip good save
No problem Rodney.
Glad you took the time to make this. I was moments away from buying a probably fake one on Amazon. Amazon has gotten really hit and miss lately.
Hey, I completely agree with you. I actually try not to shop there anymore if I can avoid it. It's just so saturated with products real or fake I can't even find what I want anymore. And when I do order something it just ends up being vastly overpriced junk. Small rant there, but Thank you for your comment. I'm glad this helped you out!
not a fake but a low quality level from mil tec, teesar is a higher level, - know mmb - there it is tacgear, and still everything comes from Rothco - the best example led mini angle lamp 10 euros, is available from Rothco and in Germany it is sold under miltec . at asmc, :)
Thank you for your comment! You're not the first person to suggest that this wasn't a fake, but just a low quality version. I'm still confused about a lot of it. Both ponchos in my video said Mil tec. Do you think one was an older version or something that sat in a warehouse for awhile? Any further explanation could help everyone get to the bottom of the whole thing.
@@bongobushcraft2527 2 product lines, mt plus and teesar are the better product lines from miltec
@@kedragon6460 Do those product lines have tags like the ones in the video? Or is it a teesar tag?
@@bongobushcraft2527 neither nor - just wanted to say that
Thanks for the video, man! Found it because my poncho leaked yesterday. So relieved to know it's a fake. I'll make sure to get a genuine one now.
You're welcome! I'm glad this offered a reason why it might be leaking. I love the genuine one, it's sturdy, if a bit heavy.
This is funny. The "Fake" poncho is just an older version of this product. Both are original
That's crazy, how do you know? Can you share so everyone can benefit?
but why talk ppl about old ponchos that were great and new ones that are great....??
@@bongobushcraft2527 I selling Mil-tec products
Thank you you saved me frustration and Money!
Hey, you're welcome! I didn't want people to fall for what I did.
Just to say, I've just received a new genuine poncho (from a bricks and mortar shop locally who carry a bunch of their gear) and it has all the features you show but the green tag, rather than the black one, so I think that may just be newer Mil-tec branding. I've got one of their tarps in the same order and the tag is the same.
That's pretty interesting. From all the people I've talked to and the reviews I've read it seems like there are multiple versions of this poncho and it's not as simple as real or fake. I wonder what's going on with their product. It's awesome when you get a good one though. Thanks for sharing, I want this place to be a hub of information relating to this poncho since I had to buy twice blindly due to a lack of info on the internet.
Hi you 2 it’s the same for me, I recently purchased the mil-tec 88L military rucksack from Amazon and have been absolutely thrilled with it. I carry it everyday on my walks with all my survival gear and tent and poncho and rain tarp axe mora knives Paracord etc etc and it’s full to capacity but once I’m walking Within 5 minutes it feels like I’m wearing nothing at all. It has t fallen apart and I tested the built in pull out rain cover and I’m i. Scotland 🏴 so I’m a ale to test it’s water proofing and it is water proof with the rain cover on. Anyhow I have that knee logo ticket as well and so I was worried when I watched this review. But the quality is so good that it can’t possibly be a fake. I just went back over to Amazon to see who the sellers are and here’s a paste of the shop.

@@bongobushcraft2527i think mil-tec should be more informative about their products and not left consumers confused
Just got back from a hike..wet! With a fake Mil-Tec...-(
Hey Chris, I'm sorry to hear that!
I got one from Amazon a few days ago. It came with the green "fake" tag. The waist loop tabs were stitched poorly but are of the same poncho material and is tape sealed. The markings inside the poncho are the same as the "real" one. Did your "real" one have a "Made in China" print as well?
Hey, I'm sorry for the late reply. I just looked all over the "real" poncho and couldn't find where it was made anywhere. So it did not have the "Made in China" print. I guess I don't know where mine was made. Are your waist loop stitches worse than the "real" one in the video?
@@bongobushcraft2527 The "Made in China" print is just below the Sturm address inside the poncho.The waist tab appears to be loosely hand stitched but I think it will hold. There maybe a lot of different versions of these being sold. This one was supplied by Epic Military UK through Amazon. They do seem to have pretty good customer review. Thanks for your comparison video.
@@hnsfrncs I looked again and it did not say made in China. I appreciate your support!
Real Mil-Tec’s are supposed to be made in Germany.
Well I got sent the fake... not happy but will do the job. Have a vontox 3x3m tarp and a emergency bivy bag that are both legit. This is just to cover most and pack when walking
I'm sorry to hear that! You can always try to use some seam sealer on the waist belt straps.
im glad i saw this video, great work
Thank you! I'm happy it helped!
