FAQs

What is Peva material?

Peva (Polyethylene Vinyl Acetate) is an eco-friendly alternative to PVC. It's chloride-free, PVC-free, odorless, and 100% biodegradable, making it a more sustainable choice for outdoor gear.

How waterproof is this poncho?

The poncho is designed to be waterproof, featuring welded seams to prevent water penetration. It is suitable for moderate rain conditions common during outdoor activities.

Can this poncho fit over a backpack?

Yes, the poncho is designed to provide ample coverage and can typically fit over a standard-sized backpack, though very large or bulky packs may reduce the amount of coverage for the wearer.

What are the dimensions of the poncho?

The Highlander Peva Poncho measures 133cm in width and 205cm in length.

What is the weight of the poncho?

The poncho weighs approximately 220g, making it very lightweight and easy to carry.

How should I clean the poncho?

It is best to clean the poncho by wiping it with a damp cloth. Avoid using strong detergents or abrasive materials. Ensure it is dry before storing.

Is this poncho suitable for hiking in heavy storms?

While waterproof, this poncho is best suited for general rain protection during countryside strolls or festivals. For extreme weather conditions or extended exposure to heavy storms, a more robust, specialized rain gear might be advisable.

Troubleshooting

Poncho is leaking water.

Check for any small holes or tears in the material or along the seams. Small punctures can sometimes be temporarily patched with waterproof tape. Ensure seams are properly sealed.

Material feels sticky or degraded.

This can occur if stored improperly or exposed to heat/sunlight for extended periods. Ensure the poncho is stored dry and in a cool, shaded place. If degradation is significant, consider replacement.

Poncho is difficult to fold compactly.

Ensure the poncho is completely dry and clean before folding. Fold it methodically, smoothing out wrinkles as you go. Practice folding a few times to find the most efficient method.
