U.S. Military Wet Weather Poncho Liner (Woobie) - ACU/UCP

Affectionately known to service members as the "Woobie," the Wet Weather Poncho Liner is one of the most beloved and versatile pieces of gear ever issued. While designed to be tied into a standard-issue poncho to provide a lightweight, insulated, and waterproof sleeping system, its use extends far beyond that. It serves as a go-to field blanket, pillow, hammock, shelter, or simply a source of comfort. Its legendary status comes from its perfect balance of warmth, light weight, and quick-drying properties, making it an indispensable item for soldiers in the field and a cherished possession long after their service.

The ACU (Army Combat Uniform) version features the UCP (Universal Camouflage Pattern), the digital pixelated pattern of gray, tan, and sage green used by the U.S. Army from the mid-2000s to the late-2010s.

Key Features

Exceptional Insulation: The liner is filled with a lightweight polyester batting that traps body heat effectively, providing significant warmth for its low weight and bulk, even when damp.

Lightweight and Packable: The entire liner is very light (typically around 1.5 lbs) and can be compressed into a very small size, making it easy to pack without sacrificing much space or adding significant weight to a soldier's load.

Quick-Drying Materials: The outer shell is made from a durable rip-stop nylon, and the insulation is fully synthetic. Unlike down or cotton, these materials do not absorb much water and dry very quickly.

Versatile Tie-Down System: It features a series of tie-cords along its edges and at the corners. These allow it to be easily and securely attached to a poncho, tied into a makeshift shelter, or fastened to other gear.

Durable Construction: The rip-stop nylon shell prevents small holes and tears from spreading, while the wave-pattern quilting keeps the polyester insulation evenly distributed and prevents it from clumping or shifting with use.

UCP Camouflage: The Universal Camouflage Pattern was designed to work in a variety of environments, including desert, woodland, and urban settings.
