I waited for a sale, and got it for $97.
The GoLite Jam line is lighter, but is basically a nylon sack with shoulder straps. It gets uncomfortable for me at about 20 pounds.

My Altus poncho caught me out like that the first time but I learnt to put it on on one side and then pass it behind me and over the pack before putting the other side on. Same with taking it off, just needs a bit of practiceFrancesK said:I'm not a fan of ponchos, I watched many times people struggling to get it on and over their pack as the rain poured and often needed someone to give them a hand.

scruffy1 said:Very correct Falcon-however-I for one cannot bear the touch of synthetic cloth-not socks underclothing shirts I too wear jeans and keep warm with merino my sleeping bag has a heavier cotton liner so as not to touch the synthetic material it is made from. I do take a fleece as an outer covereing and suffer where it touches the neck. Some of remain happily in the 19th century-also concerning clothing
