FAQs
Is this poncho suitable for hiking in heavy rain?
Yes, the poncho is built for wet conditions with waterproof material and taped seams, offering good protection. For very strenuous hikes, consider its loose fit and potential for wind catching.
How do I know what size to order?
The product is available in specific sizes like XXL. Refer to standard clothing size charts for guidance, keeping in mind ponchos are generally a looser fit.
Can I wear a backpack under the poncho?
Yes, the poncho is designed to be worn over clothing and can accommodate a backpack. Very large backpacks may alter the drape and coverage.
How effective is the reflective trim?
The reflective trim enhances visibility in low-light conditions, making you more noticeable to others, which is beneficial for safety.
Is the poncho breathable?
The poncho is waterproof due to its PU coating and polyamide material. While it offers protection, it has limited breathability, which can lead to some internal condensation during high exertion.
What kind of maintenance does the poncho require?
It requires simple care: wipe clean with a damp cloth or hand wash in cool water. Air dry and avoid heat sources like tumble dryers or irons.
Can I put this in a washing machine?
It is recommended to hand wash the poncho in cool water with a mild detergent. Machine washing may damage the waterproof coating and taped seams.
Troubleshooting
Poncho is leaking water.
Ensure all seams are properly taped and that there are no tears or damage to the fabric or coating. Re-waterproofing sprays can be used on the outer shell if the coating appears to be wearing thin.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a small amount of water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper to help it slide smoothly.
Hood adjuster is not holding its position.
Check the toggle mechanism for debris. If the toggle itself is loose, it may need to be replaced.
Poncho feels clammy inside.
This is common with waterproof but not fully breathable materials. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking layers underneath and take breaks to allow ventilation if possible.

Cons
- Poncho design offers a less fitted silhouette, which may be cumbersome during vigorous activity.

- The 'one-size-fits-most' nature of ponchos might not suit all body types perfectly for optimal coverage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Trespass Qikpac Poncho requires no setup beyond unpacking. Simply unfold it and put it on. The hood can be adjusted using the internal toggle for a snugger fit.
Compatibility: This unisex poncho is designed to fit over regular clothing. As a one-size-fits-most item (though available in specific sizes like XXL), it generally accommodates various body types and layering choices. It is compatible with most backpacks worn underneath, though very large packs might affect the drape of the poncho.
Care: To maintain the waterproof qualities and longevity of your poncho:
- Cleaning: Wipe down with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For more thorough cleaning, hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can degrade the waterproof coating.
- Drying: Hang to air dry completely. Do not tumble dry or iron, as high heat can damage the fabric and its waterproof properties.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure the poncho is fully dry before packing it away to prevent mildew.
