Description

Whether you are deep in the backcountry or out for a walk with your pet, there is nothing worse than getting caught in a downpour. Our new packable poncho kit enables you to bring ultimate rain protection (and personalized style) wherever you go. 

Everyone is familiar with the single-use, crinkly, cellophane-like ponchos you might find in an airport or at a stadium. Those ponchos often tear immediately, aren't sustainable or reusable and they don't exactly scream "fashion". Instead, you can use this kit to sew a colorful (or not, the choice is yours), reusable and multi-functional piece of rain gear that will last as long as you need it to.

The poncho kit is precision-cut (which means no patterning/guesswork) out of our 1.1 oz Silnylon waterproof fabric. The Silnylon is durable and stain resistant while still packing down to the size of a baseball, and the finished poncho (without seam sealing) comes in at only 6 ounces. 

But wait! There's more... A functional pattern design means that this poncho doubles as a tarp by using the included tie outs. This means you have the option to set up an emergency shelter, or groundsheet if your circumstances are less-than-ideal. Optionally, you may choose to seal the seams with Sil Net seam sealer to make every stitch water tight if you plan on using this as shelter more often.

Stop settling for a throw-away trash bag that won't keep you dry! The packable poncho will be the first thing you grab for mountain or every day adventures.
