    Lightweight, well-made, "sleeves" short

    Comments about Campmor Backpacker Cascade II Poncho - Regular:

    Well-made but no coverage of lower half of my arms. I'm 5'8" and normally built. I trek in cold wet weather with a smallish 15lb pack. This poncho covers most of me and the pack well, but leaves my arms uncovered from the elbow down, so I would have to wear a rain jacket under it. I already wear rain pants. If no hope of covering my arms with the poncho, might as well just wear rain jacket and pants and use a pack cover. So I returned the poncho.

      This was for my son, but after I've seen it, I may order another for myself. It's a practical idea that will only get more popular. Anyone can use a 3 mil garbage bag & Heavy Duty packaging tape and work it into some sort of pack cover, but who would want to, when the real deal is so cheap.

              I purchased it as a quick covering for walking dogs when it rains. It is very lightweight and does not provide any warmth, only keeps you dry.

              Would be better if a little longer over the arms.

              This cape comes with a pouch to carry it in. But, I do not think you can realistically fold it up again tight enough to fit into the pouch.

              This is a good quality rain poncho that packs small. My only problem is that the poncho is too short. I would recommend the long version of the backpacker poncho.

                As far as poncho's go this one is the nicest that I have used. While it doesn't breath there is enough air circulation to remove some of your perspiration. I like the larger size as it fits nicely over your pack as well.

                I've only worn this twice. Both times I have been in a tropical forest on hot days. It kept me mostly dry and had good coverage. I especially like the hood because it actually stayed on my head. After 45 minutes of HARD rain I was damp. It was my impression that the dampness was rain water which leaked through the poncho, but it could have been the heat and humidity. It gets very hot in this poncho, but I am in 95 degree weather.

                  I was able to hike using trekking poles, without the poncho getting in the way at all. I had total freedom of movement.

                  The hood adjustment allowed me to set it for maximum visibility while still staying dry.

                    • Q:

                      I am over 6 feet tall. How does the Backpacker Cascade II Poncho - Regular model compare with the Cascade II Poncho Long size? In general are the backpacker style models just longer in the back? Or are there differences in other ways in which this garment is cut to make it roomier to accomodate the backpack? If it is just the length, it seems that the Long size which is 102" long (which does not mention Backpacker) may be better for me than the Backpacker style, regular which is 92" long, correct? The width shows the same dimensions 52" for both.

                        Like most ponchos the sleeves are an extension of the body of the poncho. The extended body will cover the arms to the upper forearms if your arms are extended out, otherwise the arms are covered when the arms at the side of the body.

                        This poncho measures 52 inches wide x 92 inches long from end to end. The larger the person wearing it, the less coverage they will get.
