![]() ![]() It’s nice and soft and has the looks of an excellent field pillow. Once it’s all squared away the Poncho Villa is roughly the size of an iPad with the thickness of an MRE. Once you’ve stuffed the poncho into its own pocket (and, believe me, there’s no finesse in this operation) you can zipper the whole thing shut with a double-sided zipper that also serves the pocket while in poncho mode. That’s found in the pocket on the chest, a pocket so large you can put the poncho inside it. I’m not talking about the snaps or grommets though very nice, they’re not where the Poncho Villa makes its money. ![]() Oh, and get this: the hood is lined. Fancy.īut that’s nothing compared to the main body, where the magic is happening. The throat of the hood rises to chin height and can be opened and closed using a zipper, all covered by a covenant storm flap that sports hook and loop secured seams. ![]() The opening is controlled via a shock cord secured by a cordloc. The hood is roomy enough to be pulled over a helmet, features a playing card-sized hook and loop panel on the back of the hood. It’s more than a little moto, but I love this poncho so I’m including the Hazard 4 imagery.įrom the top-down, this is an all-new take on an old concept. Large hook and loop panels are located on the front and back, with additional panels on the shoulders. It’s 15 x 13 x 2 inches of water-resistant/breathable soft-shell fabric, and 100% (we’ll get back to that) waterproof fully-taped seams. They manufacture what I think may very well be the greatest poncho in the world. Hazard 4, out of Long Beach, California, has made the next great leap forward in poncho technology. It’s no longer made of hide or homespun cloth, but for all intents and purposes, the poncho is an evolutionary dead end. Sure, things have been added here and there: a hood, drawstrings, snaps, and grommets. Over the centuries it’s remained basically the same. The poncho (any poncho, mind you, not just the Hazard 4 Ponch) really is a wonderful piece of equipment when you think about it.Īnd it’s enduring. #PONCHO VILLA SKIN#Find some material, preferably waterproof, or at least resistant, generally rectangular in shape, make a cut in the middle, poke your head though, and you now have something that’ll keep you dry-ish and warm-ish, prevent the sun from turning your skin into beef jerky, and can be used as blanket, groundsheet, or shelter. Quite possibly one of the world’s oldest articles of clothing, and why not? It’s a simple garment to make. ![]()
