Arcturus Camo's lightweight waterproof all purpose poncho is extra long to cover past your knees. At 54" wide x 48" long, it is the perfect size for the average and tall adult.

The poncho is made from 210T Ripstop Taffeta which is coated with 2 layers of waterproof PU coating. This makes our poncho waterproof and sturdy yet lightweight. The poncho comes in its own compact carry bag that packs to a small 8"x4" and weighs under 11 oz (310 grams) which is less than half the weight of other ponchos.

The poncho features an extra large hood and head opening. You can comfortably wear a baseball cap under the hood.

The length of the poncho is also longer than the standard size.  At 54" wide x 48" long, it will cover past the knees of a 6' person

The poncho can also be used as a tent or ground tarp measuring 54" x 96" (slightly over 4'x8'). It has large metal grommets on all 4 corners so that you can tie it down, make a lean to shelter, or an V-tent.

This has multiple uses.  It's great for hunters, backpackers, to keep inside of your survival kit, or to keep dry at a sporting even or while camping.  It's compact and lightweight which makes it easy to take anywhere.

First Impressions

Arcturus wants desperately for me to review my poncho, so I’ll give you an initial impression (I have yet to use the poncho.)

Well, the first thing I can tell you, is that this poncho is just “ok” and there is a few reasons for that. The first thing is the thin stitching over cheap rip-stop. I’m not sure I could really call this stitching, as I’m pretty sure with my horrible sewing skills that I could stitch better than this.

The seems are all taped which is a good thing, and the hood is shaped wonky, but not that big of a deal.

The grommets are horrible, I do not trust them in any way shape or form, they appear to be made out of cheap aluminum.

The buttons are made out of plastic… you heard me, as in a cheap toy plastic. I do not trust them either.

Length is functional surprisingly, I can definitely see this fitting over a small day pack.

And the packing size and weight is awesome, I could carry this in a small bag and not even notice it was there.

All in all, I’ll give this a 3 out of 5. It would make a great 3 day emergency poncho, but for constant use I expect it to fall apart over time. More of a reason to take care of your gear.

Very light weight and water resistant! Best emergency shelter but don't tide too hard the groumets whit Paracord because tears the corners.
