Product Description

MADE IN USA OF USA COMPONENTS

Manufactured by Winston-Salem Industries for the Blind, who has made millions of poncho liners for the U.S. military since 1991. All components are milled, cut, and sewn in the USA. Your purchase creates jobs for people who are blind.

EXACT US GOVERNMENT SPECIFICATIONS

The silky smooth, water repellent 30 Denier Ripstop Nylon is U.S. Army Operational Camouflage Pattern (OCP) on the front, with Tan 499 on the back. The batting is Climashield continuous filament, with superior warmth and loft. Stitch counts and sew patterns match the specs for NSN 8405-01-672-8526 exactly.

SHIPS WITH CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY

The Pinnacle Mercantile Authentic Woobie made by Winston-Salem Industries for the Blind is the perfect gift for yourself or for a loved one who served. The certificate of authenticity, issued by Winston-Salem Industries for the Blind, certifies your poncho liner is made to the exact specifications of NSN 8405-01-672-8626.

REVERED COMFORT

While the origin of the Woobie nickname for the All Purpose, or Multi-Purpose Liner issued by the U.S. Army is up for debate, the usefulness and consistent high performance is not. Introduced around 1962 for use by special forces troops in Vietnam, the general specs have remained the same: light and quick-drying batting quilted between two sheets of nylon.

Today, Winston-Salem Industries for the Blind manufactures hundreds of thousands of poncho liners for the U.S. Army using proprietary, licensed Operational Camouflage Pattern (OCP) and Tan 499 30 Denier Ripstop Nylon fabric with DWR (water resistant) treatment. The batting is Climashield continuous filament fiber, which gives superior loft and heat-retention compared to cut fiber batting used in other, often made-in-China knock-offs. If you loved your U.S. government-issued poncho liner, you’ll find this one is exactly the same lightweight, silky feel.

Designed to provide quick warmth, the ingenuity of soldiers in the field proves the rule: necessity is the mother of invention. Use as a blanket, tie to form a sleeping bag, roll for a pillow. Leverage the water-resistant treatment and 30 Denier Ripstop Nylon to use as a tent cover to block rain, trap in heat or shield from the sun. Create a bivy shelter, carry sling or privacy divider. You can spread it as ground cover to sort and clean tactical gear or camping supplies or even use it in survival situations to collect rainwater. The premium materials make it incredibly light-weight and compressible/packable. Laid flat, the poncho liner measures 91.5” from point to point on the long edge, and 65.5” across. The ties are 9”.
