Description: The humble poncho liner, or "woobie", has been beloved by service members for generations. It's been said that the woobie is the best piece of military technology ever fielded and it has earned a revered, almost divine status in US Military Culture, even into the present. The first synthetic quilted poncho liners were issued during the Vietnam War, initially to Special Forces, who valued the woobies' light weight, ability to insulate even when wet and pack into a small area, saving previous space on their gear. These poncho liners were later issued to all personnel in the field. The woobie in this listing is 1970 dated (note the DSA contract prefix, which was discontinued in 1978) and in good, serviceable condition. It was issued and used, but not horribly abused. The tag is still clearly readable readable. Like all my other woobies, it has some amount of wear and tear, and might be missing ties, but is otherwise perfectly useable. Interestingly, it appears to professionally repaired from fabric taken from a later-dated woobie; the price has been adjusted to reflect this. Like all my other poncho liner listings, this is also missing stitching at random in the middle. No serious rips, holes, or tears otherwise, just a little minor storage wear. Please see my other listings for more awesome militaria items from all modern eras. If you buy or win multiple items from me, please message me about combined shipping.
