Quick Overview

This poncho serves as a multi-functional survival tool, providing individual weather protection from rain and wind when worn as a garment. Its integrated grommets and snap closures also allow for rapid deployment as an expedient overhead shelter or waterproof ground tarp.

Field Application Steps

  1. Remove poncho from pack and unfold, locating the central hood.
  2. Pull the hood over your head, draping the material over your body and equipment.
  3. Cinch the hood's drawstring to seal out wind and rain from your head and neck.
  4. Align the sides and engage the snap closures to form sleeves for mobility and security.
  5. For shelter use, attach cordage to the four corner grommets to rig as an overhead cover.
