A standard waterproof poncho is probably one of the most versatile things you can own. This lightweight model is easy to carry with you anywhere and offers easy protection from wind and rain. A good range of colours serve a multitude of users, depending if you want to be seen or not draw too much attention.
A rain poncho is an essential piece of any "what if"-package. It's not a bad idea at all to keep one in your car or boat at all times. Naturally the most common use is worn over your other clothing as a waterproof shell, but these can also be used to pitch small shelters using the six grommets found around the edges. These are also large enough to fit medium sized backpacks underneath, so you don't necessarily need a separate rain cover for your backpack.
info
- Dimensions 235 x 140 cm
- Weight 400 g (incl. pouch)
- Pack size approx. 20 x 10 cm
- Comes with a zippered carry pouch
- Press studs to close the sides
- Grommets in the corners and on the long sides
- Waterproof taped seams
- 100% polyamide with PU coating, waterproof up to 5000 mm
The bright dayglow orange variant is a sort of specialty, because usually this type of poncho's are only made in black, green and so on. This was initially designed for hunters but it works equally well for anyone who needs to be seen: we've found it quite handy when cycling in crappy weather, changing wheels on the side of the road in the night etc.
Fits perfectly inside a Medium size Mil-Tec modular system pouch. The stuff bag would then be free for other small stuff - it's fabric is also waterproof, but not the zipper. However this shouldn't be a problem if kept inside a rucksack.

Cancel- kevyt ja pakkautuu hyvin
- oranssi huomioväri
Miinukset:
- nepparit eivät kestä kiinni vaan aukeilevat helposti
- huppu ei mahdu pyöräilykypärän kanssa päähän

CancelKehitysehdotuksena näitä voisi tehdä kahta kokoa. Vaimoehdokkaalla viitta ylettää mainiosti nilkkoihin asti, mutta itse 180cm lyhyenä kaipaisin viittaan vähän pituutta ja leveyttä lisää, sillä nyt kastuu sääret puolesta välistä alaspäin ja kädet käsivarsien puolesta välistä.
Mutta ajaa siltikin asiansa täydellisesti ja onkin tällä hetkellä aina mukana koiralenkeillä ja ylipäätään ulkoillessa.

CancelThe Chinese manufacturing is of good quality, but I'd pay an extra $20-30 for the European worker. -0.5
Overall an excellent product. The zippered pouch is handy as well.

CancelEnsinnäkin saisi olla isompi niin mahtuisi aikuisten rinkkakin alle. Neppareillahan voi ylimääräisen säätää pois. Noh, toi kokohan oli kyllä esittelytekstissä esille tuotu.
Nepparit on kyllä lähinnä mallia vitsi, vähintään seuraavaan kokoluokkaa pitäisi olla jotta eivät napsuisi auki jokaisessa käänteessä.
Kankaan sisäpinta on huonosti kuivuvaa sorttia. Rinkkareissulla sateessa ulkopinnasta vesi poistuu kiitettävästi, mutta sisäpintaan tiivistyvä hikoilu ei sitten oikein millään. Pitäis varmaan käyttää väärinpäin.
Huppuhan tässä on yhtä vitsi kuin muissakin näissä vastaavissa. Pitäisi olla se militarikypärä päässä kait. Ilman lippistä turha kuvitella näkevänsä mitään (kokeilkaapa vertailuksi joskus vaikka sts vastaavan huppua)
Bonuksena, yön kun oli tarppina, alasaumaan kertyi vettä. Alle puoli desiä varmaankin, mutta outo toi oli kun ei sitten poistunut puristamalla vaan vasta ajan kanssa.
Eli aktiivikäyttöön ei voi suositella. Kevyt ja pieneen tilaan menevä, niin kaipa tota jonkin sortin hätävarana autossa voisi pitää.

CancelAlso these are quite long.At 194 cm hight these come way down over my knees to the shins. Again wearing a belt is recommended. Remember: duct taping 3 large Xs on the orange variant makes for a great emergency signal

Cancel[EDIT] I ordered a second one and what I received was an earlier version of poncho that lacked grommets and made of a slightly different material. Varusteleka reached out to me and sent a replacement current model being advertised here. FANTASTIC! Top notch customer service, as always, to these awesome folks!
I've purchased the bright orange to be used as emergency cover or ground sheet to be left in the vehicles; every vehicle should have one, honestly. Pretty handy for day hikes or any other quick excursions, too.

Cancel+ Viitan alle mahtuu keskikokoinen reppu tai laukku kuljettajan lisäksi
+ Taittuu melko modulaarisesti tuoteselosteessa mainittuun taskuun ja siihen jää vielä väliä jonkin verran
+ Perushyvä sadeviitta
- Nepparit on tosiaan melko helposti aukeavat
- "Hiha"osuudet viitasta jäävät sopivasti lyhyeksi kun ajaa pyörällä joka aiheuttaa sitten käsivarsien kastumisen
Olen tätä käyttänyt myös metsässä missä se onkin sitten aivan kelpo viitta. En ole koittanut sen suuremmin siitä viritellä mitään sadesuojia muuhun kun rinkan päälle, jotta en osaa sanoa miten kestäisi pingottelua tms.

Cancel- Rather light and compact, easy to put in your everyday bag
- Does its job at keeping you dry even under heavy rain
- Easy to dry and to pack in its bag
Cons:
- When wearing it while walking water tends to drip down to your ankles
- A bit expensive for what it is in my opinion (even-thought the build quality is good).
BONUS TIP: When contained in it's bag, roll into a sweater/jacket and turn it into an improvised pillow!
