What does /out/ think about "woobie"? First time I heard about it. This guy:
http://taskandpurpose.com/why-the-woobie-is-the-greatest-military-invention-ever-fielded/

...is jizzing all over with excitement, but Amazon reviews do seem to be quite entusiastic. Plus it does take little space.
Worth it? Original military ones arent that cheap either, is it quality?

>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.

Milfag here, it's both lightweight and compacts well. I imagine it would be great for ultralight type stuff, when we drop rucks and go out of our assault bag I always bring it with me, along with the poncho. Great little makeshift sleeping bag, when the full sleep system is a little too bulky to carry in your AB.

Also is enough to take the edge off when it's too cold, or cold and wet when attached to your poncho. Nice little blankie, and even if you're using the full sleep system, it's just a malleable little extra piece of fabric you can purpose use to cover whatever bits are still cold.

I wouldn't use it solo as a sleeping blanket. Entirely depends on what you're using it for, just in general adding another layer is good.

This is the impression I've always had of them, too. It's a synthetic blanket, there can't be very much special about it. If you already have a warm-weather sleeping bag, it's probably going to be more effective and smaller/lighter in your pack.

I can understand having affection for one if that's all you have, but I fail to see a reason for all the hype. Other things will be able to do the same job (even other blankets - when I was a kid, my mom kept something similar she got from Kmart in her car) and without needing to wear a used piece of camo-colored equipment.

Literally any packable blanket is comparable. Costco makes one out of down for $20 that will have way more insulating ability.

It's just a nylon shell with like 8 oz of polyester batting inside. There's absolutely nothing special about it.

if i didn't give a damn about civilian side education i honestly would have not gone the 68A route...
My dad was an ol time infantryman and i grew up to like all the "hoah shit" and personally would have picked 18X/18B active duty as my mos when i enlisted instead of reserve side 68A.

But i understand the value of getting something out of the army i can use civilian side after seeing my dad leave with no real skills to use afterwards.

I do really well as a 68A and i do like what i do, but there will always be the craving to still go out and do crazy shit. When i heard that SERE was technically open to all MOS's i really wanted it, sounded like something id genuinely enjoy but then i heard that anyone outside of aviation/special forces never really get into it and i got a little bummed out, and never really asked about it thinking id be wasting mine and my commanders time.

By the way, I know of these new things that work as actual poncho (that is, as an insulating garment AND a blanket) which apparently the original poncho liner doesn't have. They can also be zipped and corded shut to make a bag rather than a blanket, dunno wether the original can do that.

I think it's pretty overrated and really has become a meme. But then I did spend most of my time at Drum where it could be -10 and our heaters would stop working at night so you needed the proper sleep system. My guess is most people who like the modern UCP poncho liners spent their time in warmer climates.

i think so, i have more than one and have used them for years under many conditions and although not perfect, if i had to start from scratch that would be one of my first purchases.
it would appear for some of the comments on this thread that the "poncho liner" has more than a few detractors. i really can't explain why that would be unless there was something more to their story than they have told.
if all you're looking for is a damn blanket than maybe keep searching, but if you need a versatile/quality piece of /out/door gear. then by all means snag one.

Hey, if you want a quality "woobie" go check out the norwegian "jervenduk". It's by far a better one than the american made (inb4 usa usa usa shouts). It's more expensive, but I would recomend it to the ones who can afford it.

One question, does annyone know if I can get a woobie look-a-like in morocco? Would love to know some brands.

Cool man. Like I said, the SERE bros called them woobies. And if that's what the SERE bros call them it's good enough for aircrew.

I'm not from norway, but the jervenduk is realy fucking good. I tried one from a norwegian friend of mine and it was much better and lighter compared to the american made.

I just got a woobie in the mail a couple of days ago. It's marpat/coyote. No zippers. Tag says Winston-Salem industries for the blind.
It doesn't seem all that warm. Warm for the weight, sure. I think it will serve me well in cool but not cold weather.

The cord is threaded through the woobie and you didn't have to modify that? I don't think you can do that with mine.

Poncho liner is great. Combine w/ field jacket liner and you're one comfy AF high speed old army MF.

Also dunno when woobie came in. In 40th ID circa 90's everyone called it poncho liner.

Nobody's "denouncing" poncho liners. People are just pointing out that there's literally nothing special about them, which makes armyfags butthurt for some goddamn reason.

Plenty on Ebay, They just came out in 2015 so I doubt they will be in surplus for a few years unless you get some local to a USMC base or get lucky.
