    Have fun Tony. But the Sea to Summit poncho is not an alternative to the Altus - they are completely different shapes.

    yep .... i went for what is called a 'tarp' poncho, so that it covers the pack .... the way that it is constructed it also can double as a tent/shelter ... tethering points ... and can undo on the seams to allow ventillation ... ... and weighs 250 grams .. yay
    I have recently tried it in gusty squally conditions at the corner of the state and it seems to work well enough for me to give it a shot
