Helikon-Tex Poncho US Model
Helikon Tex US Model Poncho
The Helikon-Tex Poncho U.S. Model is a rainproof, quick-drying poncho, made of rip-stop polyester. It has press studs which enable it to make sleeves or connect two ponchos together. The hood is fitted with a cord adjuster.
The great advantage of this poncho is its light weight and small size when folded – when compressed, the poncho fits into 14cm x 22cm bag.
This Poncho pairs perfectly with the Helikon-Tex Swagman Roll acting as the poncho liner - an ideal pair.

Great Ponchos
by Paul
I ordered 2 of these US designed/chinese made ponchos & they look the business. They are as described with excellent looking double sided snaps & eyelets, making these ponchos very versatile fully functioning wet weather gear, sun/rain shelter & trap/ground cover. The ripstop material is good quality & I am looking forward to putting them thru their paces. Ponchos, what a great bit of gear, so versatile, the only thing you cant do with them is attract the opposite sex! Thanks SSA for stocking great product. All we need now is some affordable poncho liners.
A poncho to elope with in wilderness
by Matthew (Bushcrafter)
Great value for quality poncho. Ripstop material. Compatible with US GI and poncho liners and woobies (incl. Swagman Roll). Quality sealed seams and stitching. Heavy duty double sided snap press studs, which can fasten to itself or other ponchos or compatible hootchies. Has a simple internal waist cord, that can secure poncho around waist for windy conditions. Poncho can be used as a hootchie. Comes with matching ripstop stuff sack. Highly recommend.
Worthwhile twice over
by Scott
I got this as a rain cover for my self and for my gear. I comes in a very small package and is very lite. In November I was fishing and all kinds of relaxed in my hammock next to the Macquarie river in tasmania and ofcourse i fell a sleep when I woke the river flooded and was lapping at the base of the hammock. I was on a island so to get out the water was well over my 6ft height so I wrapped everything including my clothes in my helikon poncho and tied it at the top with hoochie cord and set off. With no exaggeration that thing saved my life it floated exceptionally well and kept me above water. On the bank upon opening everything was bone dry.

Great product, combining this with the Helikon swag roll poncho and you are protected from all types of weather. Also the two poncho combo can make an awesome protective sleeping bag. Happy with my purchase.
