Ultralight rectangular tarp and poncho in one.
As a shelter
Liteway Poncho Simplex has the shape of a regular rectangle measuring 272 x 144 cm. You can set up any shelter from the tarp, like a classic A-frame for example. The tarp has a total of 8 guy points with Linelocks, which make it easy to attach and detach the lines, and you can tension the tarp without needing to know any knots. The package also includes durable UHMW PE lines.
Caution: Seams are not taped! Since the tent is made from silicone-coated polyester, you can't tape them with waterproof polyurethane strips like you would with most tents (they won't stick to the silicone surface). You need to coat the seams with silicone glue/sealant from the outside before using it. You can use Gear Aid Seam Grip +Sil 28g or you can prepare the coating at home from sanitary silicone and paint thinner (white spirit) (in a ratio of about 1:2, with a consistency similar to oil). The advantage of silicone coating is its long lifespan, durability, and waterproof properties.
Stakes are not included. You'll need at least six stakes for the setup, but it’s better to arm yourself with at least eight.
As a poncho
The adjustable hood and visor let you customize the poncho exactly how you need it. The Pyraomm Poncho doesn't restrict your movement when walking, even when you've got a backpack on your back. The elastic cord with a buckle keeps the poncho in place during strong winds. The poncho is long enough to cover even a bigger backpack.
Use:
- Put on the poncho over your head.
- Wrap the back part of the poncho around yourself.
- Secure the poncho with an elastic band and buckle.
- Adjust your hood.
Materials
- 1,1 oz Levitex Silpoly 20D Ripstop 2000mm
- Buckle from Woojin Plastic
The manufacturer opted for polyester here instead of traditional nylon (polyamide), which you'll find in most ultralight tents. The reason is that wet polyester doesn't sag as much and doesn't absorb as much water, so it dries faster.
