Särmä Rain Poncho

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 colors serves a multitude of users, depending on 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.

The bright dayglow orange variant is a sort of specialty because usually these ponchos 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 tires 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.

Manufactured in China.
