The material is ripstop polyester with an additional PVC coating for waterproofing. With the specially reinforced fabric, you can be assured of durability. l 210T plaid dacron shell, 210T polyester pongee lining, and layered SEE® Polyester Filling for extra warmth As for use as a shelter, I would combine it with a bivvy bag and it will work well. It has plenty of tie out points so you can tailor the tarp to to suit your setup. The drawstring on the hood can be fully closed to make sure no water will leak on you during the night. Would it be my personal choice for a primary shelter? No, but I’m a tent guy, however knowing that my waterproofs can provide an emergency shelter for myself or someone else in an emergency situation, is the kind of versatility that makes this product stand out.

Available at various price points, they’re kind of a cross between a sleeping bag and a onesie — and they let you move around in your sleeping bag without doing that awkward caterpillar hop. They’re almost always hooded, and the arms and legs usually have zips at the ends so you can put shoes on or use your hands. Nylon- Ripstop nylon is durable, stretchable, and abrasion-resistant. Nylon is mold and mildew resistant and it’s usually coated with waterproof materials. However, PU-coated nylon isn’t the most breathable material. Poncho liner (known in the military as the woobie) is a piece of fabric that goes underneath your poncho to make it warmer.It is made from 210T Ripstop Taffeta material that offers excellent wear resistance. On top of that, there are dual layers of waterproof PU coating. Users found it offering excellent protection in heavy downpours. The Selk’bag Sleeping Bag Onesie looks and feels almost identical to a mummy-style sleeping bag. However, it features arms and legs with removable booties.
Open or closed zipper makes in the Snugpak Jungle Bag a difference of roundabout 5*C. And that is an incredibly thin summer sleeping bag mainly made for temperatures in between 15 and 25*C. Beyond that, there are high-quality metal eyelets. That allows you to use the poncho as an emergency shelter system. In fact, you can connect two ponchos together as a shelter. There are metal grommets that allow you to use this as a sunshade or a tarp. However, the light material isn’t easy to set up in windy conditions. What’s more, the grommets are reinforced for durability. When you are heading for a wet zone, make sure that the material is waterproof and not water-resistant. However, the design and coverage of the poncho can play a big role in waterproofing. At times, a material with a low waterproof rating can surprise you with its performance. Additional FeaturesNote: An older poncho will be better for colder weather, but... you shouldn’t be relying on your poncho to keep you warm in the first place. But: I recommend to every beginner to start during the summer with just the poncho. In my opinion it is necessary to learn that skill as well as all the other old fashioned techniques.

Read More My biggest con is size; for wider individual it could be an issue. Not height wise as it is 79” long, but it is rather narrow at 27.5” If you have wide shoulders or are just a big individual, it may be too small. For myself, length wise it fits fine but width wise, it is at the point of being uncomfortable. I have a shoulder diameter of 48” and if you are any larger than that, it will be too tight.
There are press-stud poppers on the sides. That means you can also use it as a makeshift sleeping bag. What Needs ImprovementWhen it comes to material specification, this poncho from Act Fire stays miles ahead of the competitors.
That skill avoids building up condensation moisture inside the poncho if rain protection is not yet needed. Let's say it starts to rain after 3 hours, I earn 3 hours more good sleep. Adding now the round about 6 hours I wrote about before until the poncho gets whet from the inside, I get in this case 9 hours of sleep until it becomes unpleasant in the sleeping bag. Absolutely. We feel it strikes the right balance between price and performance. What Needs Improvement Blanket, Sleeping Bag, UnderQuilt, Poncho Liner and in this episode Luke is giving his Agenda Free Review!
We also loved the design of the hood. It fits snugly and there’s a cord adjuster for tension adjustment.
