Our made to order cotton lined waxed cotton poncho has been carefully designed to make your adventures in the harsh elements as enjoyable as possible.
It is crafted from 405gsm (12oz) British made 100% cotton canvas with a protective, water resistant and breathable 100% cotton black lining. The canvas has an ultra dry waxed finish which readily forms a beautiful antiqued patina.
The poncho features a fully lined hood, that is fixed with DOT brand brass press studs negating the need for a seam around the neck, thereby reducing any risk of water ingress. The front of the poncho features a classic half zip opening which is backed to keep the weather out, even when open. nb: currently the YKK Aquaguard zip is black, not green as in the photos.
The flat, laid out poncho measures approximately 1.5 x 2.1m/2.25m/2.6m (short/medium/long) which translates to 1.5m wide across the shoulders and about 1m/1.15m/1.3m length, front and back.
We have added black DOT brand press studs down both sides to allow the poncho to be closed off when being worn and these, along with the extra press studs at the rear and eyelet at the front, will allow it to be fitted to our slip-in bedrolls for a quick sleeping solution. The press studs also allow the poncho to be turned into a narrow bivvy by folding it lengthways and press-studding the long sides together.
Options include a large 39x28cm front pocket and the addition of a webbing loop on each corner for use as a small shelter (please note that the neck hole does not seal completely but the hood can be repositioned to prevent water ingress to some degree).
Weights are as follows:
Short Cotton Lined: tbc
Medium Cotton Lined: tbc
Long Cotton Lined: tbc
These are made to the same design as our other canvas ponchos, hence the photos. We will update this page with specific cotton lined photos in due course.
Made to order in our Essex workshop.
Pictures show the wool lined and unlined versions. We will be publishing cotton lined photos soon.
The ponchos in the photos are medium. Models are 5'9" and 6'2".
