WOOBIES
« on: June 16, 2018, 08:15:19 PM »
I read the posts about Woobies and ordered one each for the wife and myself. Amazon had a listing for them from several dealers and they ran anywhere from $24.99 up to about $40. I ordered the $24.99 ones. They were listed as used but I inspected them closely and I can't see where they were ever used. I hope they work as well as all the Hype indicates because they are now a part of our Bug Out Bags.

   We use them year round.  It's hard to beat their warmth versus cost ratio.  I think we also paid around $25 for each one.  They're very durable too.

They are amazing.

We had to buy a bunch. Because we use them around the house much of the year. So had to get more for our bags.

Whoever invented them needs to be part of some hall of fame or award.

I hope you and your wife enjoy your as much as we do.

links please
Would give links yet am in the UK so they are centric to shipping to our side of the pond.

Go onto either Amazon or Ebay and do a search for "Poncho Liner" and you will find them offered for reasonable prices shipped to where you live

Hope this helps.

I went to Amazon and searched for woobies.  Found them right off.  But you guys know me, I am one of those pencil neck link requirers.

I just think if you talk about something specific recommending it and suggesting we consider obtaining it, you are required to include a link.  Should you shoot down a product or item or idea or story a link is required also.

If you quote from or reference a news story you are required to include a link.

I will keep that in mind in the future.

   Most military surplus stores carry them too, it's a common item. A good search engine like www.ixquick.com or www.duckduckgo.com can be your friend.

I heard Genuine G.I. issue ones are far superior to Rothco and other knock offs. However I don't know how woobies such as these would compare in quality, they are on sale too.

Yes the Chinese knockoff ones are not as thick.

For the real deal.

1.You can look for surplus "used" ones.
2. Buy from places like.

https://www.rangerjoes.com

However Grunt Style is run by former US Military members so I would hope that they have done a good quality control regime on what they sell. Due to their customer base being alot of US Military Veterans. They would need to. We are a pretty unforgiving bunch. Especially for a veteran owned company. We defiantly are not shy about expressing displeasure with quality under these circumstances. Not bought anything from Grunt Style yet. Yet know they are pretty active in veteran circles and have some stuff I am looking to get.

Now while the Chinese cheaper ones are not as good. They still are pretty good for the price. We have bought a few of them also. They compress down very well with a compression sack. So they still have utility in my experience.

Sorry should have brought up this in my original recommendation.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
