I have three of the OD ponchos in the first link. For a poncho, they do the job well. I've used one as a basha, and it held up fine in moderate winds.

I've heard good things about Helikon-Tex ponchos but they seem to be in short supply and Amazon has the prices jacked up. I ended up ordering a couple directly from Poland through Ebay. Hopefully I get them eventually.

Not Amazon, but Orc Industries is the USGI supplier:
UCP camo Foliage green I have two of them in foliage and they are GTG. |

Some of the color choices they have are  but that's a different issue.For ponchos I've shifted from the GI type to the near-disposable ones (lighter than even a garbage bag.) They last for several wearings, and pack super light so I always have one or two with me and are much less restrictive/noisy during movement and seem to bring in a lot less water into the mudroom v. the "real" ponchos. |

The Helikon one is $67, made of polyester instead of nylon, and is made in China. |

I narrowed it down to the USGI one by Orc mentioned by Dave for $55 including shipping, the McGuire one first below for $40, or the M-Tac one second below for $30.
The M-Tac is/was made of nylon a few years ago but I'm not sure about now. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08BBVQG3V?tag=arfcom00-20 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07846TNKY?tag=arfcom00-20&th=1 |
