Description

The Sea to Summit Ultra-Sil Nano Tarp Poncho is four things at once: a raincoat, a pack cover, a groundsheet and a tarp. Made from 15D Ultra-Sil Nano siliconised nylon with a 1,200 mm hydrostatic head, it weighs 230 g packed and packs to 13.5 x 7.5 x 7.5 cm.

What it does

Four things for 230 g: a raincoat, a pack cover, a groundsheet and a tarp. That is the entire pitch, and for a thru-hiker it is a very good one - you carry one item instead of three and you still have an emergency shelter if you need one. Sea to Summit pitch it for temperate climates.

Waterproofing

15D Ultra-Sil Nano fabric: siliconised on the outside so it won't wet out, with a polyurethane inner coating and a 1,200 mm hydrostatic head. The seams are double-stitched and tape-sealed, and the three-panel hood has a generous brim. Side snaps close it up as a poncho, and it is cut generously enough to cover a large backpack - so your pack stays dry without a separate cover. Without a pack, a drawcord raises the rear hem.

It is not built for very windy conditions. When the wind is up, a belt - such as a Sea to Summit Accessory Strap - stops it flapping.

As a shelter

Guy attachment points turn it into a tarp shelter, 145 x 265 cm laid flat.

Weight and packed size

230 g packed (185 g for the poncho itself), packing to 13.5 x 7.5 x 7.5 cm. Two colours: Green and Blue.

FAQ's

Why choose the Ultra-Sil Nano Tarp Poncho over the Nylon Tarp Poncho?
The Nylon Tarp Poncho is perfectly adequate for recreational hiking and emergency use. Sea to Summit say thru-hikers will prefer the lighter, more compact Ultra-Sil Nano Tarp Poncho.

Is the Ultra-Sil Nano Tarp Poncho breathable?
No. The Ultra-Sil Nano Tarp Poncho's fabric is not breathable, but a poncho has far more ventilation than a rain jacket, so condensation is rarely an issue.

Is the Ultra-Sil Nano Tarp Poncho suitable for windy weather?
The Ultra-Sil Nano Tarp Poncho is not designed for very windy conditions. In wind, a belt such as a Sea to Summit Accessory Strap is essential to stop the poncho flapping.

What can I use the Ultra-Sil Nano Tarp Poncho as?
The Sea to Summit Ultra-Sil Nano Tarp Poncho is a raincoat, a pack cover, a groundsheet and a tarp shelter, all in one 230 g item.

Does the Ultra-Sil Nano Tarp Poncho cover my backpack?
Yes. The Ultra-Sil Nano Tarp Poncho is cut to accommodate a large backpack, so your pack stays dry without a separate cover, and a drawcord raises the rear hem when you are not wearing one.

How does the Ultra-Sil Nano Tarp Poncho work as a shelter?
Guy attachment points let you pitch the Ultra-Sil Nano Tarp Poncho as a tarp, 145 x 265 cm laid flat, and Sea to Summit say it can serve as an emergency shelter.

How waterproof is the Ultra-Sil Nano Tarp Poncho?
The Ultra-Sil Nano Tarp Poncho's 15D siliconised nylon has a 1,200 mm hydrostatic head and won't wet out, with double-stitched, tape-sealed seams and a three-panel hood.
