The Ultimate in Ease and Performance: Western Fly Covers Pursuit Poncho & Introducing The Solitude Mountain Poncho

The Ultimate Hunter’s Ponchos: Western Fly Covers Pursuit Poncho & Solitude Mountain Poncho

When you’re deep in the backcountry, chasing elk or glassing for mule deer, the last thing you want is to be caught unprepared by a sudden mountain squall. For hunters who demand gear that’s as tough, versatile, and efficient as they are, Western Fly Covers has delivered two game-changing solutions: the Pursuit Poncho and the Solitude Mountain Poncho. Both are designed by hunters, for hunters—offering a level of performance and utility that standard rain gear simply can’t match.

Featherweight Protection: Built for the Backcountry

Weight matters when every ounce counts. The Pursuit Poncho tips the scales at just 15 ounces, while the Solitude Mountain Poncho comes in even lighter at 14 ounces. That’s a fraction of the weight of most traditional rain jackets and pants, yet both ponchos provide full-coverage protection for you and your critical gear.

Minimalist pack size is another standout feature. Each poncho compresses down to a compact 8”x 11”x 1” in its stuff sack or doubled over at 8” x 6” x 2 1/2” package, taking up minimal space in your pack. This means you can always have weather protection on hand, without sacrificing room for other essentials.

Lightning-Fast Deployment: Stay Dry, Stay Ready

Mountain weather is unpredictable and often unforgiving. Unlike typical rain gear that can be a hassle to dig out and put on, both the Pursuit and Solitude Mountain Ponchos are designed for rapid deployment. Simply pull the poncho from its stuff sack and throw it over yourself and your pack—no wrestling with sleeves or zippers while the rain soaks in.

• Full front waterproof zipper: Both ponchos feature a robust, waterproof zipper that makes getting in and out a breeze, even with gloves on or in a hurry.

• No interference at full draw: The cut and fit are engineered so you can draw your bow or shoulder your rifle without restriction, ensuring your shot process remains unaffected.

Versatility Beyond Rain Protection

What sets these ponchos apart is their multi-use functionality—a must for hunters who value gear that does more than one job.

Pursuit Poncho

• Corner grommets (optional): Use the poncho as an emergency tarp or shelter by staking out the corners.

• Gear cover: Protect your pack, optics, or weapon from the elements.

• Field dressing ground cover: Lay it out to keep your meat and tools clean during field dressing.

Solitude Mountain Poncho

• Four paracord guy-out points: Rig the poncho as a shelter, windbreak, or gear shade in seconds.

• Ground cover: Use it as a dry, clean surface for glassing, eating, or organizing gear.

Both ponchos are designed to keep you and your critical equipment dry, so you can stay in the field longer and focus on the hunt—not the weather.

Hunter-First Design: Made by Hunters, for Hunters

Western Fly Covers is unique in that their ponchos are the only ones on the market made specifically for hunters, by hunters. Every detail, from the cut to the materials, is informed by real-world experience in the field.

• Durable: No ground cover, no problem, from changing boots to a shelter floor.

• Extended rear panel: Ensures your pack stays dry, not just your back.

• Billed hood: Keeps rain off your face and out of your optics.

Why Choose a Poncho Over Traditional Rain Gear?

• Faster to deploy: No need to remove your pack or fumble with multiple layers.

• Covers you and your gear: Standard rain jackets leave your pack exposed; these ponchos cover everything.

• Multi-use: Shelter, ground cloth, gear cover, and more—one piece of gear, endless applications.

• Minimal pack space: At 8” x 11” x 1”, you’ll barely notice it’s there until you need it.

In the Field: Real-World Performance

Hunters who’ve used the Pursuit and Solitude Mountain Ponchos rave about their ease of use, versatility, and reliability. Whether you’re glassing on a windswept ridge, field dressing an animal in the rain, or hunkering down during a sudden hailstorm, these ponchos keep you dry and in the game.

“With the Pursuit Poncho, throw it on and you, your gear and your weapon are all protected instantly!”
