Nice poncho!…

Nice poncho! Too bad there is this big space for the bag, if you don't need it you still have it.. you should make the same without the big empty hump in the back

Excellent value for money

The cover looks very good in terms of coverage, it manages to keep you dry even under heavy rain. The breathability is clearly not the best, being made specifically to keep water out, it doesn't even let it out. Perfect size even with a backpack on your shoulders. A little complicated to wear alone when you have a large backpack.

Poncho ...this is a must for a traveller

Wished i had this earlier. It fits nicely to secure both my back pack (15 L) and me. It passed the China rain...will try again in Vietnam and India weather soon..

It will do.

We used it in the rain for 2 days on the Lycian Way. It rained for 4 hours and we could say that we stayed dry with the materials in the 50-liter bag, but it doesn't keep it completely dry. I can say that it is mostly waterproof. Definitely, if you wear this raincoat, make sure your sweatpants and shoes are waterproof because mine got quite wet :)

Unfortunately not waterproof at all

Today, November 19th, 2024, I tried it on in the Wandsberg branch and bought it straight away. I should have read the customer reviews beforehand. It was raining when I came out of the branch. So I put the poncho on straight away and went home in three quarters of an hour. When I got home, when I took it off, I could feel that the poncho itself was damp on the inside. The same was true of my jacket, which I had put on underneath, on the shoulders and sleeves. My backpack, which I was wearing under the poncho, was also damp on the surface. It really hadn't rained heavily, but light rain the entire way back. If this poncho is water-permeable after such a short time, with little rain, I'm glad that this didn't happen to me on a hike in the middle of nature. I can't recommend the poncho at all and will bring it back to the branch tomorrow, November 20th, 2024.

Heavy rain and coat…

Heavy rain and coat worn under the poncho still wet.

I recommend

Great coat that holds a large backpack.

Additional Product Information

Composition

Main fabric: 100.0% Polyester ; Coating: 100.0% Polyurethane

Fit and sizing information

Good coverage for hikers between 157 and 173 cm in height (size S/M) or 174 and 190 cm (size L/XL) and carrying a 60L maximum backpack. Hood can be tightened thanks to elasticated drawcord and stopper toggle. The ends of the sleeves are cuffed with an elastic binding that prevents water from entering your sleeves. This rain cape is easy to get on and off thanks to its long front zip which slips easily over the head.

Additional recommended products

To complete your outfit, we recommend overtrousers or waterproof gaiters to fully protect your lower legs. For greater breathability, the waterproof hat can also be attached to the poncho!

Component waterproofing

We measure a fabric's resistance to water pressure, expressed in terms of the height of a water column in mm (based on the ISO 811 standard). The higher the water pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. Components scoring 2000 mm can resist the pressure from 2000 mm of water (which is equivalent to a rain shower lasting two hours).

Waterproofing of the garment

This garment has been validated in a shower test under 60 litres of water / m² / hour for 2 hours. This test reproduces the average conditions of a rain shower in the mountains.

Component breathability

Our rain poncho and cape ranges do not come with a waterproof/breathable membrane.Therefore, we recommend calm, gentle use to reduce perspiration rather than fast hiking!

Component water resistance

The water-repellent property of a fabric is its capacity to make water run off its surface without absorbing it. This prevents the fabric from soaking up water and keeps it lightweight, warm and breathable. The water repellent property is achieved by treating the fabric's exterior. This treatment needs to be renewed throughout the lifetime of the garment (every 3 washes). All Quechua ponchos and capes have a water-repellent treatment.

Care

We recommend you use a re-waterproofing product (spray or liquid)To renew the fabric's water repellent-properties and optimise the garment's performance throughout its lifetime.

Storage instructions

Long-term storage: dry thoroughly and fold in its bag.
