A British army poncho has been in the bottom of my day pack for years (emergency shelter, long waterproof for when it lashes it down, spare groundsheet etc.) only problem is mine has now suffered from the well documented seam tape glue failure. I am torn between attempting repair by re-taping seams with silicone or just buying newer issue item.
I am happier with the heavier weight nylon rather than the very thin ripstop as I hate the rustle. Also I cant see the point of buying a surplus replacement that is of the same vintage as my item as it will undoubtedly suffer from the same glue problems.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated
