Snugpak - Enhanced Patrol Poncho WGTE - Olive

Snugpak Enhanced Patrol Poncho WGTE - Lightweight and 100% waterproof protection.

Be ready for sudden weather changes with the Enhanced Patrol Poncho WGTE. Designed to fit easily over both you and your backpack, this 100% waterproof poncho offers full coverage in a lightweight, compact design weighing under 450g.

The oversized smock style gives you freedom to move and even allows the poncho to double as an emergency bivvi in unexpected overnight situations. Whether you're hiking, trekking, or camping, this is essential gear for staying dry without adding extra weight.

Poncho aftercare
The waterproofing on the poncho is a PU coating so will not need any attention to keep it waterproof, but the outer surface is treated with DWR (durable water repellent) which causes the water to bead up and roll off.

Once deactivated, it can lead to the fabric wetting out and looking like it is failing but this is just cosmetic. The DWR can be reapplied, and we would suggest something like Nikwax or Granger's products. These products are supplied with full instructions and are usually washed in or sprayed on the item.

There is no hard and fast rule as to how often you would need to do this, just when you notice water stops beading up on the garment.
