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.

Summary
The orange hikers poncho gives rain protection, ground cover, and shelter options in one compact kit. Because tarp pitching needs cord and anchor points, carry 4 tent pegs and a short guyline. If you want the Facebook advertised Trekshield style poncho set supplied in NZ, this is a practical choice for tramping and camping.
