Rain Poncho Tarp and Groundsheet 3-in-1 Hooded Rain Coat with Pocket

Stay dry, then set up shelter when you need it

The orange hikers poncho helps you manage fast weather shifts on New Zealand tracks. First, wear it as rain cover and use it as a pack cover. Then, when you stop, lay it flat as a groundsheet or pitch it as a tarp. Because it packs small, it fits easily in your pack for day walks or longer tramping trips.

Key Features

• 3-in-1 design Works as a hooded rain poncho, tarp shelter, or groundsheet.
• Waterproof tearproof nylon Uses a durable PU coating to help shed steady rain.
• Reinforced edge eyelets Support tarp pitching and tie-outs.
• Press stud poppers Fasten the sides for simple cover when conditions change.
• Large coverage Measures 220 cm by 140 cm when laid flat.
• Light pack-down Stores in the matching carry bag for tidy packing.

Waterproof Rating Note

Some similar ponchos advertised online, including Trekshield-style products, mention waterproof ratings of up to 5,000 mm. While this is possible in laboratory testing, lightweight ponchos of this size and weight typically use thinner PU coatings that commonly perform closer to mid-range waterproof levels in real outdoor use. Because this poncho prioritises packability and multi-use flexibility, it is best treated as reliable protection for steady rain and emergency shelter rather than heavy alpine storm exposure. The realistic real world range would actually be between ~2,000–3,000 mm.

If you don't mind carrying something heavier and want more rain protection then you may want our ERP-210776 Heavy Duty Rain Poncho instead.
