Helikon-Tex Poncho
Ripstop polyester rain cover with hood
The poncho is made from tear-resistant ripstop polyester and keeps rain off reliably without adding much bulk to the pack. Folded away, it fits into its own carrying pouch, so it takes up little room on the move.
Side snaps allow the sleeve section to be pulled in for a closer fit while walking, and a drawstring hood covers the head as well.
Combining ponchos and field use
A second pair of snaps lets the poncho be joined to a second one to form a larger shelter or ground sheet. Its loose cut still leaves enough room over a medium-sized backpack worn underneath.
