HELIKON LIGHTWEIGHT Waterproof Poncho - Coyote

Helikon-Tex LIGHTWEIGHT Waterproof Poncho

Looking for a lightweight and reliable poncho to protect you from bad weather? Need gear that withstands rain, wind and harsh outdoor conditions? Want something compact that you can quickly unfold, use and pack away into your backpack? Then the Helikon-Tex LIGHTWEIGHT Poncho is exactly what you're after — a modern, lighter version of the classic US poncho. Made from durable rip-stop polyester, it is lightweight yet resistant to tearing. Instead of metal grommets, it features reinforced textile loops for reduced weight and longer lifespan. The hood can be easily adjusted with a practical drawstring, and the side snaps allow you to form improvised sleeves. The poncho can also be spread out into a tarp shape and used as an emergency shelter or gear cover. Once folded, it fits into a compact transport pouch, taking up minimal space in your backpack. Ideal for bushcraft, hiking, airsoft and everyday outdoor carry.
