[QUOTE="gittiharre, post: 102461, member: 3568"] Hi, I have posted a number of times under the Altus thread with my latest take on the Altus. I have used the older model bought in 2009 which is made from Polyamide and found it very good, minimal perspiration and I stayed pretty dry. I convinced my husband and my cousins, all avid trampers to order Altus ponchos as well and they all received the newer model which has the words rainseries written on it on the chest part and does not have velcroed sleeves. This newer model comes in normal ( about 450 grams) and lite ( about 250 grams) weight and my family bought the normal weight and I bought the lite as I wanted to save weight in my pack. We all find the new models of Altus absolutely useless. We were soaked inside after a very short time, partly from condensation, but also from the fabric just not being waterproof. Even the backpack got really wet. The fabric is flimsier than on the old model, sticks to your body rather than hanging loose and the water runs down your legs and into the shoes. I no longer recommed the Altus to anyone. Other options are La Fuma, Ferrino Trekker, both at 400 plus grams and the Raidlight at 250 grams, which I have ordered. There is a shop in Navarrenx Le Poisson Roi which sells the Ferrino Trekker, he will post anywhere and you can buy by credit card, if you want the contact details send me a PM. Cheers, Gitti [/QUOTE]
