So, why did the concept of a tactical poncho never catch on?

But anon, they do still issue ponchos for rain as far as I know.

>rifle gets stuck on it
Dead.
>you get stuck on it
Dead.
>something gets stuck on it
Dead.
Also, if you want to wear a poncho in 120 degree weather go for it hombre.

Chest rig mag pouches need to be acessible, and you can't exactly just throw it over the poncho

Army still issues ponchos but we also get these nice waterproof jackets and pants that basically defeat the purpose of that

basically yeah it's a liability getting snagged on shit and getting in the way in general

Arabs use bigass robes under the desert sun and don't die from it. Git gud.

>not using tactical western ponchos in the summer

You gotta be a dumbass if you get your rifle stucked while using a tactical poncho, I mean you are gonna recieve a training in which you will learn about your equipment

>>33524517
Valid point. Perhaps there's a way to circumvent it like in >>33524539 and >>33524559

>Arrive at AO
>Throw front side of the poncho over your non-dominant-hand shoulder so your tacvest is more accessible
>Draw rifle and rock and roll(?)

If anything, their gear is designed to keep them cool. They wear all those robes to get the sun off themselves.

Exactly. Don't see what's the problem having a cloth protecting you from the sun. I mean, people use shemaghs for that too other than protecting themselves from dust.
