Description
This lightweight emergency rain poncho is a clear polyethylene cover-up with a hood, ready to pull on in moments when the sky turns grey. It is one size fits all, with a collar of approximately 55cm and a length from shoulder to hem of approximately 100cm, so it falls well below the hips and sits loosely over a coat or jumper. Laid flat it measures 125cm wide and 122cm long, yet it weighs just 0.039KG and comes folded in a slim printed card box that slips easily into a pocket or bag. The poncho itself is clear, and the box comes in a choice of blue or red.
We think of it as the kind of thing you are always glad to have and rarely plan for. Keep one in a handbag, a glovebox, a cycling pannier or a day pack, and a sudden shower at a festival, on a country walk or on the ride home becomes far less of a nuisance. Because the film is clear, whatever you are wearing still shows through, and the hood keeps the worst of the rain off your head. It is a sensible spare for anyone who spends time outdoors in changeable weather.
The poncho is a thin polyethylene film with an attached hood. It is technically a single-use, disposable poncho, but if it is carefully dried and handled it can be used again: shake off the rain, let it dry fully before folding, and store it somewhere flat. Polyethylene can be recycled under specific conditions, so when it has done its job, check with your local authority to find out if and where it can be accepted. As a present, it is a small, practical extra to tuck into a card or a festival bag, and we like to keep one by the front door for the next time the forecast changes its mind.
