Sea to Summit Ultra-sil Nano Poncho

Fresh seems to be what was promised. The storage bag is impossibly small, I can't fit that cloak back in there after digging it out.

The material is pleasant. The downside is that it gets up when you walk, when it's so light.

Exactly as expected, high quality fully waterproof poncho. Somewhere between the full on plastic poncho and the waterproof-ish ponchos that are made from fabric. The poncho is extremely lightweight, and packs down very small. Minor gripe is that the stuff sack isn't integrated...seems like that would've been an easy move for them. I have used in downpour for an hour and was happy with it. I have not had a chance to use in heavy rain for more than an hour, but will report back when I get the chance.

It's light, yeah, but even the slightest breeze then rips out of place. It is necessary to insert under the straps of the backpack, for example, that it stays in place, which in a certain way reduces protection. Fall needs more, in the summer this can be quite a jees to keep with. The rather small, 168-centimeter hands are almost completely out when the backpack is on your back. It’s so light and doesn’t even fall into place on my own that I couldn’t pull myself over the backpack myself but needed a guy’s help. Has been left unused.
