Star Army Poncho, Type 38

The Type 38 Poncho is a rain poncho used by the Star Army of Yamatai. It provides soldiers and their backpacks with protection from rainfall so they can keep dry. It was first issued in YE 38, although some previous models of ponchos were already in use at that point. It is more lightweight than a raincoat.

The poncho can also be used as a roof of a makeshift shelter.

Design

The poncho is a large spectacular garment constructed of completely waterproof synthetic polymer fabric. In the center it has a hood with a drawstring to pull it closed. The sides of the poncho have snaps to keep it closed and the corners of the poncho have metal grommets for trying the poncho to things.

Ponchos are printed in RIKUPAT pattern.

The poncho comes with an extremely comfortable optional liner (affectionately called a “woobie”) that is made of quilted nylon with a polyester filling. It is attached with snaps. The poncho liner makes an excellent blanket or sleeping mat on its own.
