    Where to buy poncho liners?

    Where do you guys usually order your liners from? Just curious is some are better than others?

    Go to your local army surplus store or you can find them on eBay.
    Life has no remote. Get up and change it yourself!

    Even though I'm paying a ~$5.00 premium (that's ~20% of the total cost!), I prefer to go to the local Army/Navy store over ordering online. It lets me pick and choose based on feel and look of the liner. YMMV, though.

    if you have time

    I watched eBay a couple of weeks and bought some brand new ones for $20 each. They were USGI. I'd recommend the USGI version.

    Ebay.

    If you need more that 1, buy them from the places that are cheaper, but charge shipping (vs. ~$15 but free shipping). The way ebay calculates shipping means you'll get each PL for cheaper. I bought 4 for about $10 each shipped.

    Just read the description. Some indicate they are damaged.

    Are there local flea markets and thrift stores near where you live, or a rummage sales location? I've often found military items for real cheap at these kind of places.... thrift stores are also a potentially good source for down items.... I just acquired a red North Face Mummy sleeping bag with 3/4 side zipper, like 3-4 inches loft on the top part, but it is TOO tight for me....so am going to modify it into a pea-pod for my gf who is half my girth.

    I watched eBay. Ended up with 5 of them for $35 delivered. It did take me a few weeks of watching and bidding to win an auction for what I was willing to pay.

    You can get them on amazon as well but if anyone is really in need of them I am in the Army and have about 100 surplus stores within 10 minutes of my house but they are not cheap here. Usually BDU is about $20, ACU is about $35, and Multicam can run about $50-60. Hit my up as a last resort and we can figure something out.

    I found EBay to have a good selection and pricing.
