Instant answers from our depot guard dog (or route straight to our human crew).
The Original Swiss Army Poncho in white is genuine military surplus built for wet alpine weather.
Alpine Military Heritage
Originally issued to the Swiss Armed Forces for cold-weather mountain operations, this snow poncho provides dependable foul-weather defense. Built from tough waterproof coated nylon, it is engineered to keep soldiers dry during sudden alpine blizzards and downpours while offering effective camouflage across snowbound winter landscapes.
Practical Field Features
Designed for fast weather adaptation, it includes an adjustable drawstring hood and a snap-stud neck closure to seal out driving sleet. Durable metal poppers along the flanks let you create custom arm openings or seal the cape shut. An internal waist cord keeps the material secure against your torso in high winds.
Multi-Role Shelter Utility
Measuring approximately 220 cm by 166 cm flat, this poncho easily covers you and a full rucksack. Fitted with eight reinforced perimeter eyelets, it converts into an emergency basha, ground sheet, or lean-to tarp. Sourced in solid Grade 1 surplus condition, each piece is inspected and ready for field use.
Add this genuine Swiss Army snow poncho to your outdoor pack for dependable wet-weather cover and emergency shelter.
This item was used by the Swiss Army during the Late Cold War (1961–1991) and is in Grade 1 condition. It is in very good condition with plenty of life left. We recommend giving it a wash before wearing.
Grade 1 represents solid, fully functional military surplus that has been deployed or issued but remains in great usable condition with plenty of life left.
- Functionality: 100% field-ready. All main zippers, press studs, drawstrings, and buckles work as intended with no critical faults.
- Fabric & Wear: Structurally sound with light cosmetic wear, minor abrasion, or subtle fading from normal military use and laundering.
- Markings & Personalisation: May feature soldier names, unit numbers, service markings, or light depot stamps written on tags or fabric.
- Repairs: May include neat, professional military-standard stitches or minor reinforcement patches that do not compromise gear integrity.
- Storage & Cleanliness: Gear is serviceable straight out of the box, though a standard initial wash or airing is recommended to clear typical military surplus storage scent and minor handling dust.
