Poncho Villa™ 2020 Version

$179.96 USD

technical soft-shell poncho

Our thoroughly modernized version of the classic military poncho has more in common with technical sport jackets than the old vinyl camping stand-by that usually comes to mind. An industry first, it should reintroduce a generation to the functional benefits that having no sleeves affords.


The poncho can be stuffed into its own front pocket for storage. It even has a vent for drying!

Differences between Original vs MK2. (2020) PonchoVilla®:

1. Attachment loops and snaps added on V. 2020 to allow for coupling of Fleece Poncho Liner (so they don't separate in windy conditions.)

2. Lasercut MOLLE added on the loop fastener on the pocket flap.

3. Same-color seam tape on the inside (already implemented on some of the later batches of the original design.)
