Our Verdict
The Turbat Molfar Poncho Tent is a versatile piece of outdoor gear that serves as a rain poncho and a temporary shelter, making it an appealing choice for backpackers and day hikers. Its lightweight design—253g for the S/M size and 330g for the M/L—ensures it won't weigh down your pack. Constructed from 68D polyester with a 3000mm water resistance rating, the Molfar offers reliable protection from the elements, whether worn as a poncho or set up as a shelter.
While not intended to replace a dedicated tent for extended trips or extreme weather conditions, the Molfar excels as an emergency solution and adaptable gear piece. Its dual functionality shines in unexpected mountain showers or as an ultralight shelter option. When worn as a poncho, it covers both you and your backpack and can quickly transform into a protective tent for overnight stays or temporary refuge.
The poncho features button closures on each side, effectively keeping out rain but potentially limiting airflow. During prolonged periods of intense activity, users will experience some heat buildup despite the overall air circulation. The hood includes a face-cinching drawcord, though an additional crown cinch would have enhanced its adjustability.
The Molfar's versatility and affordability make it a compelling product for outdoor enthusiasts. It's particularly well-suited for adventures like the West Highland Way, where it could prove invaluable. While not recommended as a primary shelter for extended trips, it performs admirably on day walks as an emergency shell. Its practicality extends beyond hiking, making it suitable for music festivals like Glastonbury.
