Use
The Dutch military rain poncho is designed to fit on top of the helmet and other gear so it should fit big and tall folks in civilian life as well. This thin and light fella also adapts to really bad weather if you pair it with the Dutch woobie poncho liner. A budget version of a thermal cloak. Loud and not as good but also quite a bit cheaper.
These have grommets around the edges so that this chameleon of the garment world can also be used as a tarp.
Do you tend to lose the carrying bags of your camping gear? Now it is a bit more difficult because the bag is attached to the inside of the poncho. “It also “works” as a very unpractical pocket. In case you like to squeeze things into very small bundles, don’t use the bag. You can fit it in even smaller spaces.
Materials and care
Made of PU-coated polyamide. Normally, you don’t really need to wash rain ponchos. However, if you like to wallow in mud in addition to self-pity and feel that some sort of purification is necessary, you can do it at max. 40 degrees Celsius (104 F).
Condition
Used Dutch military surplus. Some of these have seen a bit more use. So, there can be wrinkles and stains but they are still usable. In case you like to iron everything, including your underwear, you might be happier buying a new rain poncho instead.

Overall this is a good poncho, mine will need re-treating with water-repellent, but still a great item if you make sure to look after it after it's long service in the Dutch army. Mine obviously saw some shit.

Sure it has some dirt on it, but it is in otherwise excellent condition, with no holes, or rips. The dirt will be gone in the first rain it gets exposed to...or combined with some dirt from the Pacific North West. Whatever. It’s a military poncho not a Gucci jacket.

Had almost zero smell, thank God!
Your US liner will fit in perfectly. Fasteners should be inspected and manipulated with caution in case one goes rogue and wants to rip itself off when you go to unbutton this thing.

Two styles are noticeable: a thicker, slightly less flexible model (older dates, may be better/tougher if used as a tarp / shelter), and a lighter, more flexible model (newer dates, packs down a little smaller). Thickness/thinness is not a reflection on quality, all are extremely well made, and are in very good to excellent condition. (Follow up - the older ponchos seem to have a thicker inner waterproof lining, which seems to be a membrane attached to the inside lining which may account for it feeling a little thicker and less flexible, while the newer ponchos seem to have a waterproofing that is impregnated into the material from the inside.)
If they get more in stock, I might buy more as gifts, since friends like mine. If Varusteleka doesn't get more in stock, my friends will be SOL, cause I won't give up mine.
