Question about Sea to Summit Poncho
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...- StellarB

Question about Sea to Summit Poncho
Hmm, I used the Sea to Summit poncho on the CP this spring and didn't have that problem. The first time was in just an extended drizzle so not much of a test, and the second time in steady rain for about 3–4 hours. I stayed dry both times. No strong winds though, which could be problematic with...- StellarB

Poncho quandary — Altus, Frogg Toggs, Vaude, or something else?
I bought a Packa. It seems like a clever design, BUT the hood is so tiny you can't zip the front of the Packa all the way up without the closure covering your nose. (and I have a very small head). I wrote the designer/owner of Packa about it, and he basically said that the small hood is a...- StellarB
