If sudden downpours threaten to soak your clothes and backpack while hiking or commuting, a lightweight poncho is a trail essential. I’ll show you how the Decathlon Forclaz Poncho 100 fits over tall hikers and protects up to a 30-liter daypack.
1. Unpack the Poncho
Unroll the Forclaz poncho from its compact pouch and locate the neck opening and hood.
2. Put Over Your Head and Pack
Slip the wide opening over your head, allowing the extended back panel to drape completely over your 30L backpack.
3. Snap Side Fasteners
Press the plastic snap fasteners together along each side under your arms to prevent the fabric from flapping in heavy wind.
4. Tighten the Drawstring Hood
Pull the elastic hood cords on both sides to snug the visor securely around your face and forehead.
Helpful Tips
Hang the poncho over a shower rod or chair to dry completely before rolling it back into its storage bag to prevent mildew odors. For more outdoor reviews, visit our Hardware & Gear hub.
