Hazard 4® Poncho Villa™ MK2 Technical Soft-shell Poncho
Hazard 4® Poncho Villa™ V. 2020 Softshell Poncho
Hazard 4® Poncho Villa™ MK2 Technical Soft-shell Poncho
Hazard 4's 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!
Product Features & Benefits:
- Water-resistant/breathable soft-shell fabric (86% polyester, 14% spandex; liner is 100% polyester)
- 100% waterproof fully-taped seams throughout
- This makes it rainproof and waterproof under light pressure
- Perfect for light rain/average snow, and light pressure type of conditions
- Generous size to fit over packs/bags/chest-packs
- Large front & back velcro panels for agency I.D.
- Velcro panels on the shoulders & head-back
- Ample hood with brim section fits over head-wear
- Hood-cinchers for front and back-of-head adjust
- Zipper front to chin for full rain-coverage of throat
- Large perimeter grommets for hanging as tent/tarp
- Side snaps for closing edges in severe weather
Advantages of Poncho vs. Jacket:
- Fully covers the torso and most of legs
- Fully covers packs, bags and equipment
- Allows rain-free access to pockets/bags
- Dry equipment or weapon manipulation
- Can become a small make-shift tent
- Two ponchos combine for a larger tent
- Can be used as a seating/work surface
- Quick on and off over layered clothing
Differences between Original vs MK2. (2020) PonchoVilla®:
- Attachment loops and snaps added on V. 2020 to allow for coupling of Fleece Poncho Liner (so they don't separate in windy conditions.)
- Lasercut MOLLE added on the loop fastener on the pocket flap.
- Same-color seam tape on the inside (already implemented on some of the later batches of the original design.)
