Description

This is the one and only Drifter Field Poncho, the ultimate companion for your outdoor adventures! Crafted from premium 8oz Waxed Cotton Canvas, this rugged survival poncho is designed to tackle the elements with style and durability. Its water-resistant properties keep you dry and unlike synthetic materials, the breathable waxed canvas prevents odours and mould, ensuring freshness. Why use plastic based synthetic materials if you don't have to? 

What sets the Drifter apart is its Australian designed ingenious versatility - unzip the YKK Aquaguard waterproof zip in the centre and it transforms into a protective poncho, shielding you from rain, snow, and chill. Plus, with four reinforced loops on each corner, it doubles as a shelter, ground cover, and more. With a lifetime warranty, a convenient carry pouch, and an optional 8oz hood available, the Drifter Field poncho is your go-to companion for camping, 4x4 adventures, hunting, and all your outdoor escapades. Upgrade your gear and embrace the wilderness with confidence!

PRO VS CLASSIC

The Drifter Pro is exactly the same as the Classic. However, the Pro has an additional 10cm gutter of 8oz waxed canvas on the inside edge protecting the liner. This minor, but significant - user requested - change provides greater protection to the inside liner during exposure to rain.

Shelter

Use the 4 corner webbing loops to erect an emergency shelter. The water resistant waxed canvas and waterproof zip provide cover from moisture and rain.

Ground Cover

Close the centre waterproof zipper and lay flat to use as a ground cover or picnic blanket. Ground cold and moisture are kept at bay.

Camp Blanket

Keep moist air and rain off while the natural wax coating keeps warmth in. Unlike nylon or polyester, waxed cotton breathes while it protects.

Sleeves

2 x custom brass rivet buttons on the side of The Drifter create sleeves for added protection and movability.

Hoist Loops

4 x reinforced cotton webbing loops on each corner for pegging The Drifter to the ground or hoisting aloft for an emergency shelter.

AquaGuard® Zip

The genius of The Drifter is the waterproof YKK AquaGuard® zipper. Zipped, it keeps the moisture locked to the water repellent side. Unzipped it turns The Drifter into a poncho.

What Real Customers Say

★★★★★

Quality, warmth & a head turner

I love the quality of the poncho. I’ve warn it on a cold rainy day and it does what it says it does. I have the hood too. Best random warm raincoat I’ve ever bought. 100% recommend this if it’s something you’re looking for. Throw it over your good clothes and stay dry and warm and everyone asks where do I get one of those?! Jack Stillman mate!

Sent to Canada

This was a gift for an outdoorsman friend on Canada’s West Coast where it rains for 80% of the year! He loves it. Wears it hiking all the time and likes that it also covers his pack when worn.

Super tool of camping!

Perfect complement for a weekend in my campervan. Good for rain of course, but useful in the evenings to keep warm, a useful piece of bedclothes,either under or over you. the canvas is surprisingly soft and flexible, and the tags let you easily hang it up for shade or windbreak or privacy! All that and it packs up in a bag smaller than a jacket and fits easily in the storage cupboard. Get yourself one.

A camping 'go to'

Motorcycling and camping are my happy place, and I just recently received the poncho and hood. Have only had the chance to use as a ground sheet for my tent and as a picnic blanket by the river, perfect so far. The ‘Drifter’ imo is going to be a versatile piece of material that will be packed for many an adventure.
ps; the tote bag for the poncho allows room for the hood, light guy rope etc.

The Drifter Pro is exactly the same as the Classic. However, the Pro has an additional 10cm gutter of 8oz waxed canvas on the inside edge protecting the liner. Believe it or not, this minor, but significant - user requested - change costs more in materials and labour so the cost is impacted. Hence us at Jack Stillman are testing demand for this feature.

No. The Drifter is water-repellent. The 8oz cotton canvas outer material is treated with wax which naturally repels water. This trusted method has been used for centuries by sailors and soldiers to protect against the elements. The advantage to this over plastic coated materials is that The Drifter breathes naturally, is biodegradable and oozes old-school charm.

The Drifter dominates as a field blanket. It's compact, simple yet versatile. The hood is innovatively designed to fit to The Drifter without impacting its role as a blanket or ground cover. We have found that almost 50% of customers don't feel they need the hood. The hood can be purchased separately but the good news is, if you buy the hood at the same time as The Drifter you save 20% off the hood. Click here to add the hood to your cart.

The Drifter comes with a coating of wax so its good to go for your very next adventure. You can (and we recommend) re-wax your Drifter throughout its lifetime. We recommend once per year or after washing.

We recommend washing The Drifter sparingly. If you need to wash it, use a cold, gentle machine wash with minimal detergent. Harsh washing will remove the protective wax coating but this can re-applied when dry.

Since 2018, we have made Jack Stillman products in-house in our Australian owned and operated facility in Vietnam. It is because of this that we can confidently offer our lifetime guarantee. To learn more about our manufacturing, read this.
