The best use for the lightweight poncho these days is for raking your leaves into before taking them to the dump !
I do still pick them up for use at Forest School for use with the kids though as they are a good cheap shelter although i would rather use the newer PU coated Basha's as they are more waterproof but are generally more expensive.

Point to note re water bottle pouches; there were two types, one with a traditional strap/buckle and one with a"twist lock". I think the "Twist lock" was earlier (or possibly concurrent) but the strap/buckle although generally considered less "Gucci" than the "Twist lock" was far more resilient and far more common.

I always understood the strap/buckle version was the later pattern & was introduced because shrinkage of the webbing, when wet, could mean the twist lock version becoming impossible to fasten. I've had to wrestle with one a few times but it always proved possible in the end... so perhaps that's why they were never entirely replaced; plus ally (gucci) saves lives!

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing he cares more about than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature with no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
