If you want better coverage and are not concerned about weight, I recommend the Altus Atmospheric Poncho. It's long, covers your backpack and (most) of your legs, and has actual sleeves that fasten at the wrists. I seem to alternate between taking the Altus for quality coverage (and relative ease to put on) and something else for the reduced weight.I wore mine all day in driving rain. Wet to the top of my legs (wearing a skirt and poncho didn't cover all of skirt). My mods will be extra domes either side, one pair being to hold the poncho at the wrist tightly, another between original domes. Alternatively to attach a sleeve, attached only to the poncho on the top edge, to give more arm protection. I'd trade off weight for complete waterproofness any time. It kept my pack dry, although augmented by a shower proof pack cover. That's my priority.
I have one (145g) and it protects well.just wanting to know if other people are having trouble with Sea to Summit Nano poncho not keeping them dry. Mine is as wet underneath as on top. Laid it out on table and pooling water under. Most people say theirs work well. What is going on. I tried two brand new ones??
I always had a problem keeping the nylon snaps fastened. Simple solution - SUPER GLUE. One drop per snap and voila! No more separating snaps. I was a lot drier after that.just wanting to know if other people are having trouble with Sea to Summit Nano poncho not keeping them dry. Mine is as wet underneath as on top.
