[QUOTE="tploomis, post: 209001, member: 28391"] When I look at the Altus poncho, I'm scared away by the weight. The Zpack poncho, made of cuben fiber, addresses the weight issue admirably, and if it can do double duty as a flooring for a cuben fiber tarp tent (for camping situations not on the Camino), it is even more of a lightweight solution. The article correctly states that there is no waterproof/breathable rain gear, despite manufacturing claims to the contrary, and that has been my experience as well. I do think that being wet is not so bad if the waterproof/breathable gear is at least keeping the wind off. My Patagonia rain jacket, while not waterproof in the downpours of Galicia, did keep me comfortable, though wet. I do like the Patagonia Nanopuff jacket as a mid-layer, rather than polar fleece. The Nanopuff is very lightweight, it compacts to a small size, and even when wet it keeps me warm (the fill is synthetic). [/QUOTE]
