What GOLITE Say:

A poncho that is a tarp and a tarp that is a poncho. The ultimate in lightweight utility.

An extremely strong, lightweight waterproof nylon ripstop fabric used in GoLite Shelters and Tents.  The nylon fibers are impregnated with Silicone, which allows the fabric to stretch without separating or breaking.  SilLite™ fabrics are far lighter than conventional tent fabrics, but also far stronger.
