Helikon-Tex® Lightweight Poncho

The Helikon-Tex Lightweight Poncho is a reliable protection against rain and wind that won't let you down even in the wilderness. It is based on the legendary American model but has undergone a "diet" – everything essential remains, while the unnecessary has disappeared. The result? Lower weight, smaller packed volume and the same durability you can count on.

Lightweight construction that makes sense

Helikon-Tex took a proven solution and fine-tuned it to the last detail. Metal grommets have been replaced by sturdy webbing loops, saving grams and space in your backpack. However, the poncho retains its full size when unfolded – when needed, it can also serve as an emergency shelter.

Thoughtful details for worse weather

Sleeves can be easily created using snaps, so the wind doesn't stand a chance. The hood with an adjustable drawstring fits securely and protects even in heavy rain. When the storm passes, the poncho can be easily packed into the included cover – compactly, quickly and without fuss.

Durable material

Lightweight ripstop polyester resists tearing and harsher handling. Reinforced areas at stress points ensure the poncho won't tear even when moving through dense vegetation. No complicated maintenance – this poncho simply doesn't require washing, just use.

Helikon-Tex brand backing

Helikon-Tex has decades of experience in bushcraft and military development. Every detail has its reason, and no element is here just for show. The lightweight version takes the classic further – simpler, lighter, but still genuine.
