The Townsend's companion video to the one I posted shows how to tie a blanket into a cloak, or full robe.

Down pants and jacket?

What is your reasoning for doing away with a sleeping bag? You don't want to waste bag weight on an item you only use for sleeping?
I can see an argument for a poncho replacing a sleeping shelter ie. tent/tarp but you still need the warmth generally. Get a good sleeping pad and wear more clothes for sleeping and depending on weather you will be fine. But there are some pretty light and cheap sleeping bags out there.

I disagree. Wool is warm, but it has a fucked warmth/wool ratio. You need to carry a whole lot of blanket to actually stay warm overnight.

I slept many nights in a GI issued poncho with the liner.

I do something similar. I have a very small fleece 50 degree bag/blanket, a milspec poncho, and a bag liner. Its sometimes so hot where I live I just wrap myself in the liner and poncho and use the fleece under me.

Basically a water-resistant woobie you can actually wear as a poncho liner. Combine with USGI-type poncho for impromptu ranger roll. Not the warmest thing in the world but good enough for summer.

There's cheaper places to buy that btw. That's MSRP. I got it from some other polish site for $80 as part of a much larger order. They'll get restocked on Amazon/other US retailers soon enough.

There are much better choices if you are looking for a sleeping bag alternative. They are heavy af and too small to sleep under comfortably as a tarp or wrapped up like a sleeping bag unless you were born a dwarf. Pick literally anything else.

just don't wear the warm clothing before you go to sleep, else your body starts generating less heat before you go to sleep, leading to you getting too cold while you're sleeping, which almost always results in getting a cold.

Are you Japanese by chance? Only anime characters get sick after a sudden change in temperature or standing in the rain for five minutes.

If you're comparatively high speed, consider a poncho and poncho liner. Search for "woobie". For a warm and waterproof sleeping system you can just wrap yourself inside of the poncho and woobie. I've used this technique to replace a sleeping bag for most of my military career and plenty as a civilian. It might not be suitable for very cold climates, but if you have some gravel in your gut you can use it for three seasons just about anywhere in the world.

Obviously you should wear the poncho during the day if it starts raining or something.

All the ponchos I've seen are narrower than my poncho liner. Was there ever a matching set?

The poncho and woobie the Army issued me is the only highly-accurate matchup I've seen. You can find it in surplus, but any reasonably close mismatch of poncho and woobie will do.

When I've looked for those I haven't had much luck. Lots of 40s and Vietnam ones, lots of "military style" ones.
I'm not American so I can't check out irl stores.

Helikon-Tex makes a good repro poncho that has all the standard features. You can get their speciality liner (>>1487330) if you've got the dosh, or buy milsurp. The Dutch issued a poncho liner like ours too. https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/dutch-poncho-liner-surplus/61165

Just to stay on the conservative side I'd say it's the same range as a regular old USGI poncho liner. So yeah, 40 F innasummer. Anything colder depends on how well dressed you are. The zip-up sleeping bag function is the same as the newer USMC poncho liners; meant more to make it easier to use it to line your sleeping bag than as a standalone item, but certainly doable if you have to.

Cheers for the tip. I mean it's the poncho itself I don't have. I have a real US poncho liner. I have bought two military style ponchos to go with the liners and those were not enough bread for the cheese.
