Troubleshooting
Poncho smells unusual
The EVA material is non-toxic and odorless, but if a smell persists after storage, air it out in a well-ventilated area for a few hours. Ensure it was completely dry before storing.
Water seeping through seams
While designed for good coverage, extreme downpours or prolonged submersion may test seam integrity. For enhanced protection, consider seam-sealing tape if leaks are persistent.
Material feels stiff or less flexible
Prolonged exposure to extreme cold can temporarily stiffen EVA. Allow the poncho to warm up to room temperature before use. Avoid folding sharply in very cold conditions.
Poncho is difficult to fold compactly
Ensure the poncho is completely dry and clean before folding. Smooth out any major creases as you fold it to achieve the most compact form.
