frogg toggs Herren Regenmäntel

Product Information

A very wet, 6-day, 95-mile hike through Shawnee National Forest, as well as a few shorter weekend hikes. It was obvious that a standard, thin plastic emergency poncho was going to be too much trouble in the wind; I’ve worn them at Disney World and Universal Studios and knew that they cling. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Having said that the breathable materials like Goretex is not worth the extra money in my experienced opinion.

When I hike in New Zealand, where it can get cold and rainy, I use a lightweight knee-length gotten jacket, big enough to wear wool and downjacket under and I have needed that. As horizontal rain started blowing in under the tarp, I quickly shoved my pack, containing most of my gear, under the poncho hanging over the hammock.Also, Ponchos are great when the air is pretty still (since they breathe so well) but get a little wild if the wind kicks up and is blowing. If your Decathlon poncho works in every respect other than the peeling seamguards, why not give it some repair/maintenance time? I came to Denver right after the snow a few weeks ago and had no idea what supplies I needed to hike because I’m from Michigan. Constructed in a bi-laminate non-woven material, this poncho keeps the rain and wind out, and the comfort in! half the weight of the Ferrino Trekker we used before : less weight in the pack, and less sticky when worn.

This Frogg Toggs poncho meets all the criteria for durable, reliable, emergency rain gear that you’ll need.My German camiga swears by her Vaude poncho, which is plenty big and long and works, though it is a lot heavier than mine. It tapes up fine, but I figured the added weight from taping it up so many times would outweigh the benefits at some point.

have you decided against an Altus because of someone's bad reviews, or because of not being able to get one easily? The Ultra-Lite2 poncho weighs 9 ounces and is constructed from ultralight breathable and waterproof nonwoven polypropylene with welded waterproof seams.Using the poncho on thru hikes (PCT and Colorado Trail) and on the Camino during very windy storms, it worked fine.
