Product Overview
The Splashmacs Plastic Poncho is a versatile and essential piece of equipment for anyone facing the unpredictable nature of outdoor environments. Engineered from a resilient PVC fabric, this poncho offers immediate protection against both wind and rain. Its functional design ensures that users remain dry during outdoor events, while its unique ability to fold out into a groundsheet provides an added layer of utility for those working or attending events in damp conditions.
Key Features
- The drawstring hood allows for an adjustable, secure fit, providing enhanced protection for the head and neck during heavy rainfall.
- Integrated popper neck fastenings ensure the garment is easy to put on and take off, even when wearing other layers.
- Double press-stud fastenings on each side allow the poncho to be opened fully and used as a groundsheet, offering a dry surface on damp ground.
- The included carry case with a drawstring handle makes the poncho highly portable and easy to store when not in use.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a lightweight PVC fabric, this poncho is designed for efficiency and ease of movement. The material is inherently waterproof and windproof, providing a reliable barrier against the elements without being cumbersome. Its spacious, one-size-fits-all design ensures it can be worn comfortably over existing clothing, including bulkier jackets. The inclusion of the double press-stud side fastenings is a deliberate design choice, allowing the garment to transition from a protective layer to a practical groundsheet, making it an excellent dual-purpose item for festivals or outdoor site visits.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
To ensure your brand stands out, this poncho can be customised to reflect your company's identity. Embroidery is an excellent choice for a professional appearance, often used for smaller logos and staff names to provide a high-quality finish. For larger, more impactful designs, screen printing is particularly effective on this PVC material. Our technical team in Telford, who have been perfecting customisation since 1976, recommends using screen printing inks without direct heat to maintain the integrity of the fabric while ensuring your branding remains bold and clear.
Use Cases
This garment is ideally suited for staff at outdoor events, festivals, or for companies looking to provide emergency rain protection for their workforce. Its ability to serve as a groundsheet also makes it a valuable item for surveyors or site workers who may need to protect equipment or themselves from damp surfaces. Given its compact nature, it is a sensible addition to any vehicle's emergency kit or event organiser's inventory.

Practical Advice
This is a one-size-fits-all garment designed to accommodate adults up to size 2XL. We recommend keeping it in its carry case when dry to ensure it is always ready for use. When wearing the poncho over heavy winter coats, ensure the side poppers are securely fastened to maintain maximum wind resistance.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and appearance of your poncho, it is important to follow specific care guidelines. Maintaining the waterproof properties of the PVC requires a gentle approach to cleaning.
We recommend a simple sponge clean for this garment. Using a damp cloth will remove surface dirt without compromising the material's integrity or damaging the custom branding. Avoid using a washing machine, as the mechanical action and heat can cause the PVC to degrade and may ruin any applied prints.
Do not use bleach or harsh chemical cleaners, as these will strip the protective qualities of the fabric and cause discolouration. Always ensure the poncho is completely dry before folding it back into its carry case to prevent any unwanted odours or material sticking.
