I got an Australian hootchie from www.combatclothing.com.au that doesn't seem to have any PVC on it. It's held up well for a couple of years now but if I had the choice to make again I don't know that I'd buy another one. I got it for the extra size but in reality it's not that much bigger than a GI poncho. The gain is only about 10" in length and 6" width. Anything the hootchie or basha can do a poncho will do nearly as well but you can't wear the hootchie in the rain. I think, for my money, I'd recommend the poncho.
