QUECHUA Poncho - MT900 - Source in the US?

[ShoshTrvls]

Has anyone found a source for the Quechua MT900 Poncho in the US? The Decathalon US website doesn't carry it, whereas it is offered for sale on Decathalon's other websites.

Thanks.

I have looked for this excellent rucksack poncho parka. Unless something has changed in the last month, Decathlon does not offer it in the US, on their US website.

The nearest I have found it on a Decathlon web site is Ireland. It might be worth trying to order from there and having it shipped. It is not that heavy - so shipping should not be too onerous.

FYI - here is the link to the IE (Ireland) web site:

Hiking rain poncho - MT900 - 75L - Red - L/XL

Designed and tested in the French Alps, this poncho with its long sleeves and full zip means you can put it on easily.

Hope this helps.

I have my unicorn! (And yes, it is bigger and heavier than the Altus)

But I believe that it has pit zips, right?

Yes! And slit “pockets” so you can reach inside to get a credit card or credential from your waist pack.

The only downside is that the back doesn’t snap up like the Altus so it is a little bit longer in the back to allow for your pack. I’m quite short (5’1”) and it has only maybe 2-3 inches between the bottom of the poncho and the ground in the rear, and so going downhill it might drag, depending on how steep. I might look into hemming it or adding two snaps but to me the benefit of the zippered underarms and the slit pockets makes it worthwhile.
