NZ-stocked ponchos for wet tracks, from ultra-light emergency covers to heavy duty rain protection and 3-in-1 poncho tarp groundsheets. Choose black, orange, or camo options to match tramping, hunting, camping, or car-kit use.

Product Range

Ponchos buyer’s guide

This range includes simple emergency ponchos, tougher day-walk ponchos, and 3-in-1 poncho tarp groundsheets that can also act as a basic shelter. Use the notes below to match weight, coverage, and durability to your typical conditions.

Pick the right type

  • 3-in-1 poncho tarp and groundsheet: Choose this style if you want one item that can cover you, lie flat as a groundsheet, and tie out as a quick tarp. These sets use PU-coated nylon, press stud poppers, and reinforced eyelets. They suit steady rain, breaks on wet ground, and emergency shelter use.
  • Camouflage PVC poncho tarp: Choose this option if you want thicker fabric, a higher stated waterproof rating, and a poncho that also works well as a rugged tarp. It suits hunting, bushcraft, and camp cover, including over large packs.
  • Heavy duty EVA rain poncho: Choose this option for fast on/off rain cover on day walks. It has a neck drawstring and side snap buttons, and it suits windy conditions where you want the poncho held in place.
  • Emergency-only ponchos: Choose these for glovebox, group day trips, or “just in case” use. They prioritise low weight and small packed size over long-wear durability.
