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!

I bought this for my husband when he went to Iraq, it keeps you warm AND cool (strange but true) and it folds up to very small. I just bought 2 more for my sister (headed to Iraq) and myself because I love this liner as a blanket! We use them camping and pretty much all the time.

I love the woobie, but this is a piece of junk. I only use it twice and some of the threads already broke, plus the stitching is really ugly. Save yourself some headache by getting a genuine poncho liner.

I was never in the military, but I have a brother and many friends that are or were in the armed forces. They all loved the woobie.

I bought one and use it for everything. Great add on between sheet and comforter(top blanket) when it is a little chilly on the house. It is well made and takes a beating, I and my 2 1/2 year old son used it to keep warm when siting in the family room. We used for sheet forts too. It is light weight and very slick...really slippery; the surface on both sides are semi sealed for water resistance. Good stuff I plan on getting 2-3 more of these blankets. LOVE IT!

It is an amazing all around product. Great for warm weather camping as well as travel. When airlines started charging for blankets and pillows i started to just bring this.

It dose every thing and i mean everything. It a sleeping bag, picnic blanket, pillow, bed cover, blanket for the couch......

Take it to your favorite sporting event.

These are great! I grew up with one of these and decided to buy one for myself. I am glad I did. First night I got it we went camping and it dropped in the 30's, I was sure glad I had my trusty blanket. I would recommend this to anyone.

A+ Fast Shipping! Bought this as a back-up to the one I got issued in my TA-50. This liner is thicker and warmer than its "issued" brother, which is really nice. One negative aspect of it is that it's a bit bulkier too so it does not compress as easy (probably because it's new), but I'll still give it 5 stars.

I have never personally owned a real military issue poncho liner, so I can not comment as to how close these are in quality or thickness. However I can say they are a great little blanket. I've washed it about 4 times over the last 5 months and it's held up just fine. I bought two of them and used one as a ground cover quite a few times for a little star gazing by the fire with the missus. They have a nice cool feel and are semi water resistant so perfect for that. Now I use the one she didn't claim as a woobie. I carry it in my backpack stuffed in a small dry bag. I have used it to cover up with when stuck in air ports and to shield my self from cheap motel beds. I use it on my own bed as well all the time. I really love this thing and I recommend that if you don't have you, you get one.

I was a grunt in the 82d Airborne from 86-89. We never took heavy snivel gear to the field, no matter the temp. I's light and takes up no space when rolled properly. The 'cho liner was everything in one. I would roll up in mine like a mummy. It would keep you warm when it was cold. It was cool when it was hot and would keep the bugs (and everything else) out. When wet, it dried quickly. It was literally the most magical item on earth! My wife thinks I'm nuts cause i still sleep with mine... Until my daughter confiscated it. Now i have to buy another. I might have to live in a poncho hooch in the yard.

Doesnt' necessarily do anything for me, but my husband was ecstatic when I gave it to him. Hope that helps other wives determine whether or not to get it if their husband is needing an updated poncho liner, hahaha!!
