Hi all, some of you may know that I prefer a poncho to a jacket (Why? Ohhhhh .. for SO many reasons!)
I have just noticed that Snugpak now sell their military grade poncho to the public (Snugpak supply our UK military and also sell many of the same items at the same quality to the public).
the Snugpak Enhanced Patrol Poncho - in khaki or black.
It is similar to the Altus in that it has sleeves but is a smock design with a big chest pocket, and underneath that there is a pouch for your hands to go in to keep them dry and warm. It also has elastic loops to slide thumbs into to keep the sleeves down when being active.
Shaped for when wearing a full size backpack and can be bought for about £50 and weighs 400gms - 13 ounces.
Also, you can ignore the sleeves if you want and have your arms underneath the poncho. Oh - they do a thermal liner too!
Though I need to say, the size is "universal" - so one size fits all?
Truly waterproof and not like those flimsy ones that blow all over the place.
I am not connected with Snugpak - just sharing a new piece of kit - looks pretty good.
Here a photo and also a Youtube review so you can really see it - if you are thinking about a poncho (and I think that you should be ) - check it out. here the video - Snugpak enhanced patrol poncho review
