A poncho, weight 300g: asked for and sent off

[Former member 49149]

I have a green poncho, which I do not need, weight as above. I will give it to whoever asks. I would post to Ireland, Uk, Western Europe, or it can be collected by arrangement. Pity for it to be taking up space if it could be used. Anyone interested, pm me.

So sorry, the first person who sent a pm will soon get it in the post, as it went off this afternoon. Give me the dates of your camino and I will pray like mad for there to be no rain! Buen Camino.

I know that it's already promised to someone, but I'm curious of what brand the poncho is? 30 grams is very light!

To be honest, I am not sure it has a brand. It was bought in the equivalent of the army and navy surplus stores in Dublin long years ago. Looks like nylon ripstop material. And if I am correct, that is what showed up on the kitchen scales when I placed it on the plate. Wish I could weigh similar! Dream on...

I was wondering the same thing. 30 grams is the lightest weight I have ever seen listed for a non disposable poncho. Most sil nylon ponchos will be around 300 grams. Even my cuben fiber poncho weighs 113 grams, and it is one of the lightest ponchos I know of. For 30 grams, I want one.

30 grams???? really? and made of rip-stop nylon?
In non-metric terms that is approximately 1 ounce if I am not mistaken.

well, people, you will have to wait till the new owner can weigh it. I might have missed out a zero! Ha!

That's possible I did that once with a bread recipe. I measure ingredients by weight rather than volume, and I use grams instead of ounces. One time I added 800 grams of flour to a recipe that called for 300. After the dough came out like concrete, I looked back at the recipe carefully and then slapped myself on the forehead.

Such a laugh! No need to wait, it must be 300. I do know what 25g butter looks like. Sometimes joined up thinking is not my strong point. Sorry, new owner, if you were thinking of a magic super light poncho, you are now stuck with one that weighs approx 12 oz. if it is too heavy for you to carry, enjoy the rain! And thanks, Dave for being kind about my mistake!

On an unrelated thought, I sure wish my husband liked to cook and bake. ;-)

You got that right! Possibly he'll lose more weight than me when I return!
