Reason N°1

Comfortable & versatile

Why would you need a Poncho Libre? Apart from the obvious "why not?!", the Poncho Libre is a versatile all-in-one that we've never left at home in 35 years. No kidding. It's useful as protection from wind, rain, sun, sand, dirt, mosquitos and whatever else you wanna chuck at it.

We've thrown it on tables, rocks, roads, tracks and pretty much any surface we needed to sit, lay or curl up on. And it's comfy as heck. Plus, it's a freaking poncho! You can never be unhappy in a poncho.

Reason N°2

Light & strong

Weighing in at less than a full water bottle, the Poncho Libre is designed to go anywhere with you, without the baggage claim. Rolls up tight, stash it or tie it up, this thing ain't gonna weigh you down on a hike, a paddle or a climb.

Its vegan fibres are resilient, strong and feather-light, without plucking a single one.

Reason N°3

World-tested (and renowned)

We're world travellers. Over, under and through, we've been everywhere. The original Poncho Libre has been with us across deserts, tundras, rainforests, plains, riversides and even a cheeky boat trip or two. This thing is built to last like nothing else.

Reason N°4

Stylish & playful

Look, we're not gonna be on the cover of Vogue. But damn it if we didn't look good, feel good and get the odd compliment every now and then.

Really, the Poncho Libre is function first, and fun a very close second. Playing around the fire, the river, the beach, it's all been done and made THAT much better in a Poncho Libre.

Reason N°5

You can never be unhappy in a poncho

Look, we said 5 reasons because our marketing guy said you're more attracted to odd numbers. But hey, if you're still down here reading this, you're probably going to love the Poncho Libre.

We're not kidding, this thing is one of the best camping/travel companions you'll ever have. And seriously, when you slip it on, try and wipe the smile off your face. I dare ya.
