We're Arcturus, an outdoor company from Washington State. We know a few things about cold, wet weather, and that's why we developed our line of lightweight, heavy-duty, all-purpose ponchos. Whether you need to keep dry at sporting events, casual hiking, or need extra protection when hunting or camping, its compact and lightweight design makes it easy to take anywhere. At 54" wide x 48" long, it is the perfect size for the average and tall adult. Extra Room - this poncho opens up to 54" x 96" (4.5ft x 8ft), providing plenty of room to use as a ground tarp or lean-to. It also includes steel grommets on all 4 corners for easy tie-down. Quality Design - made from 210T Ripstop Taffeta Nylon which is coated with 2 layers of waterproof PU coating. This makes our waterproof poncho sturdy yet lightweight. The poncho comes in its own tactical carry bag that packs to a small 8"x4" and weighs under 11 oz (310 grams) - less than half the weight of other ponchos. The ripstop poncho is a practical and versatile gear to have in your backpack. Compared to a conventional rain jacket, this rain poncho protects your backpack and ensures protection of your other valuables from getting wet. There is nothing more unpleasant and dangerous than getting soaked by rain. An ultra functional survival coat designed as a tarp poncho with robust nylon material offering a great protection to its user. Where all seams are sealed and no water soaks through. Arcturus delivers a waterproof and tactical poncho, that serves well through its length & versatility from which could also be converted into a shelter during emergency situations.
