A fun bit of kit, the Honcho Poncho Down is an insulated poncho for cosy nights around camp.
Thermarest says:
Constructed of premium materials, the Honcho Poncho Down delivers high-performance protection and sublime comfort making it the ideal layer to wear around your camp and beyond. Made with Global Recycle Standard certified 100% recycled nylon, the Honcho Poncho Down’s shell is DWR-coated for water resistance. Combined with Responsible Down Standard certified 650–Fill Nikwax® Hydrophobic Down™, the Honcho Poncho Down maintains its puffy warmth in wet conditions. Design elements like the anorak zipper, a fitted hood and a snap layout that minimizes the excess fabric typical of traditional ponchos, make it functional around camp during essential tasks like filtering water and cooking. With a front pocket that doubles as a stuff sack, you’ll be able to pack down and bring along your favourite layer anywhere you head off to.
Our Verdict
A cosy wearable blanket stuffed with RDS-Certified 650-Fill Nikwax Hydrophobic Down, so it's really warm, works well in damp conditions and packs down small when you need to transport it. The poncho has a ¼ length front zip, so you can easily slip it on and off, and this goes up to the hood, which is more of a traditional hood, I was expecting something more oversized, but this is snug and comfortable. It has a huge kangaroo pocket which doubles as a stuff sack, which isn’t its intended purpose but makes for a brilliant pillow.
