Description:
We have taken our
Cuben Fiber Groundsheet, added a hood and zippers, and turned
it into a 3-in-1 piece of gear; Poncho, Pack Cover, and Ground Sheet
all at once.
- Constructed from Black 1.0 oz/sqyd Cuben Fiber which provides good
abrasion and puncture resistance that can stand up to wear and
tear. The material is waterproof and not breathable so it is
important to have air flow at the neck, sides, and waist to stay
cool
Specifications:
Two Sizes:
Solo-Plus Size:
When in groundsheet mode this is the same size as our
"Solo-Plus"
Cuben Fiber Groundsheet. It will fit a single hiker.
28" wide at the ends, 42" wide at the center, 7 feet long, with a 5"
bathtub folded up all the way around. (If the material were laid flat the
dimensions would be 38" x 52" x 94").
Weight: 5.1 ounces (144 grams)
Twin Size:
When in groundsheet mode this is the same size as our
"Twin" Cuben Fiber
Groundsheet. As a groundsheet it will fit two hikers.
When in poncho mode it is
wider (more arm coverage) and longer (more leg coverage). It
is asymmetrical to match the footprint shape of our Hexamid Tents.
That means when worn, it hangs down a little farther on one side compared to
the other.
38" wide at the ends, 50" wide at the center, 7.5 feet long, with
a 5" bathtub folded up all the way around. If the material were
laid flat the dimensions would be 48" x 60" x 100".
Weight: 6.1 ounces (173 grams)
Poncho Mode:
- Fitted Hood with visor keeps water off your face.
- Waterproof zippers at the neck and sides for venting.
- Half length separating
zippers at each side ensure the sides can't blow open in the wind.
An elastic belt at the waist allows you to snug the poncho around you
for warmth when needed, or leave it loose for air flow.
- Bonded hood and neck seams! No seam sealing necessary.
- The Solo-Plus size poncho covers down to about mid-thigh (on a
5' 9" person w/ a small backpack) so you may want Rain Pants or a CloudKilt.
The Twin size poncho is a little longer.
The poncho width covers to mid-arms. Expect wet arms. A poncho may
not be suitable as your only rain gear in colder weather.

Review of the Groundsheet-Poncho by Steve B.
Groundsheet Mode:
- The outside of the poncho goes towards the ground when in
groundsheet mode. The hood will be underneath covering the neck
opening.
- The sides of the groundsheet are folded up 5" all the way
around forming a bathtub shape to keep out water. The six corners
can be clipped to your tarp or Hexamid shelter. Six elastic hooks
are included with our tents, or if you are using this with a
different shelter hooks are available below.
- Two sizes are available, our Solo-Plus or Twin sizes. See the
sizing information on our
Cuben Fiber
Groundsheets.
- 1 year warranty against defects in materials or workmanship on
all ZPacks gear.
Elastic and clips are included with our Hexamid Tents
and Tarps. If you need them for a different shelter you
can add a set of 6 here:
