In an effort to reduce weight in scenarios where rain is not predicted, I decided to pick up a Frogg Toggs Emergency Poncho at 2. Lastly, Ponchos are great when you're walking a trail, but they reduce visibility immediately under foot, so when climbing or navigating hairy areas I'd rather have a jacket and pants.

Read more about the condition New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging is applicable). Higher temperature, soap and detergents can ruin the waterproof coating of the fabric and the seam tapes. The full-length zipper is surprisingly hearty and loosely covered by a thin storm flap for added protection.The frogg toggs Ultra-Lite Ponchos are constructed from a super-lightweight, waterproof and breathable nonwoven polypropylene material. This is offered in a men’s in two colors — blue and grey — and women’s variation in one color — pink.

I can tell you about the ultralight bi-laminate polypropylene fabric that is welded at the seams to prevent leaks and tears. This seam-sealed rain poncho features a 3-way adjustable hood and a rugged YKK black zipper, and more.I like what I've read about the DriDucks Action poncho and the Ultra-Light2 poncho, but the official descriptions on the retail sites lack specifics.

The poncho is folded nicely into the pouch and is somewhat compressible to reduce room in your backpack, evacuation kit, bug-out bag, or get-home bag. If he hadn't been testing that DriDucks UQP(converted in a hurry to TQP) he would have been in trouble.

I have a general concern (although I am unsure) if a rain jacket or poncho is considered to be "heavy duty" and/or expensive that it would also weigh more, make you sweat more, and possibly be overkill, especially on a summer Camino. I just see the snap buttons, but I assume that there are grommets for both the DriDucks Action and the Ultra-Light2? Does anyone have an opinion one way or the other regarding the Frogg Toggs Ultralight 2 Jacket versus the poncho?

The packs, sleeping bags and pads my group rented was in good condition, with no notable signs of wear or damage. I assume that they are all waterproof, but would the type of material make a difference in how clammy or sweaty you get when wearing it for a long time? Take a look at other EDC/PREPARED reviews such as the Lifeline 30-Piece First Aid Kit and the Gerber Shard everyday carry (EDC) pocket tool.

On the other hand, going alone into a field with a loose bull in it is probably only advisable if your name is Usain Bolt. We are not experienced campers so we appreciated that the tent came with instructions printed on the bag label. That’s why we’ve awarded the Frogg Toggs Ultra-Lite2 Jacket our Budget Pick for the Ultralight Backpacker. Also, the bottom lifts in any serious wind, getting the tops of my pants wet and exposing my pockets. ounces (for a men’s small), this jacket is windproof, waterproof, and no-excuse-not-to-bring-it-proof.It has a front zipper, long sleeves, a hood with a clear visor, and space for the backpack - very similar to the Altus, which I have.
