Hazard Poncho Villa™ Technical Poncho
$179.99
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!
