Ultra-Lite2 Poncho

Ultralight Hiking Poncho

The Ultra-Lite2 hiking poncho is a product from the American brand Frogg Toggs, a veteran manufacturer of rainwear.
Although its durability is not as good as other ultralight ponchos, its low price, low weight, and good design make it a well-regarded and widely used piece among many American hikers.

When to use it

A poncho can have several uses. It not only serves to protect you and your backpack from the rain but can also be used as a groundsheet for your camping system.
It is also used by those who need extra protection or in emergency situations for tents or tarps.

Design

This poncho is very simple and has just what is necessary to protect you from the rain. It uses snap buttons to secure it to the body and a cord to adjust the hood.
Once worn, it protects both you and your backpack, so there is no need to carry a separate backpack cover. Frogg Toggs offers it in several very discreet and visually pleasing colors 🙂

Made of Polypropylene and Polyethylene

The Ultra-Lite2 hiking poncho is made of a bi-laminate of polypropylene and polyethylene through thermal bonding to achieve total impermeability.
This combination creates a highly breathable water-repellent laminate compared to others. It allows moisture and sweat to pass through to the outside while remaining waterproof. It does not absorb water, is resistant to abrasion, and is resistant to many acids.
