the piece
A cut-and-sewn poncho that covers the body and a loaded pack in one, packing to 0.5 L. Repellent finish, generous cut, and a completely honest warning: on a bicycle a loose poncho is a hazard, so we grade it as not advised for cycling rather than quietly leaving the grade blank.
what it does, and where it stops
how we test- fabric weight
- 62 g/m²
- garment weight
- 268 g in EU 50 / M
- packed volume
- 0.5 L
- water repellency
- standard — PFC-free DWR, C0 chemistry, applied to the face fabric
- when the finish runs out
- 20 to 30 machine washes, sooner where a pack or saddle rubs
- how you will know
- water stops beading and rolls into the weave instead; the face fabric darkens where it soaks in
- how to renew it
- Wash it clean first, then apply a wash-in or spray-on repellent, then reactivate with a warm tumble dry or a warm iron through a cloth.
- hydrostatic resistance (EN ISO 811)
- Not published.
- breathability (EN ISO 11092)
- Not published.
Measured stuffed into its own pocket and compressed by hand — not a machine-compressed figure.
Sheds a shower and wind-driven spray. It is not a rain barrier: in steady rain the face fabric wets out and water reaches the layer underneath, first at the shoulders and the seat.
Not measured. This garment is water-repellent only, so no hydrostatic figure is published for it.
Not yet measured. No breathability figure is published and no breathability claim is made until it is measured to this standard.
- Packed volume 0.5 L in its own stuff pocket
- Side press-studs to close the drape down to the body when the wind gets up
- Not for use on a bicycle — see the cycling grade above
sizes, measured

Garment measurements in centimetres, taken flat. Tolerance ±1 cm — a run of fabric is never exact, and we would rather print the tolerance than pretend it away.

environmental characteristics
- Coated face fabric — sort as textile, not as plastic packaging
- Finish is a surface treatment, not a laminate, so the base cloth stays a single fibre family
- Zips and pullers are replaceable rather than bonded
Textiles have been covered by the French Triman and sorting-information rules since 1 February 2023. Full sorting instructions
