Well............................... I've opened it and worn it, unfortunately only in the living room as both my girls decided to be ill this weekend!:eek:
However I will say it is a good size, well made and surprisingly light for the amount of material. I can't wait to get it outside especially if this snow keeps up! I won't be sleeping under it any time soon though, too much on at work where I've just changed roles! I'll try to post pics and other details as and when I can.:D

My eldest is not well ether :( hope your two get well soon,

Cant you pitch it in the front room? :lmao:

Yes, I received mine a couple of days ago.
I too am surprised at how light it is. My wife (who has worn the '58 pattern poncho when she was a cadet,) commented on the build quality and volume of the poncho.

I'm 5'10" and it covers me to well below the knee without a pack on.
Coupled with my gaitors I can't see myself getting wet to any degree.

I might play around with some pitching ideas today.

All in all I'm very pleased with it.

Props to LBL, Hilltrek and Wayland for this (if there was anyone else involved in the organisation and testing props to you too, sorry but I've got a terrible memory)

Cheers, Alan.

Mine has arrived safe and sound.
Nice quality.
Quite long for me as I'm on the short side ( 5' 8") so that and gaiters and I'm set!
Cheers littlebiglane and Hilltrek
(hon. mention - Wayland)

:) :thanks:

Has there been a full review of these somewhere? I can fine plenty of mentions of it, but not a complete review.

No review as yet - of course I am encouraging new owners to give it a try - take some piccies and give some considered thoughts on it. I am looking forward to theses (or dreading them) as much as using the poncho itself!

I called Hilltrek today and they told me that the black ventile has been out of stock. It just arrived and it will take a week or so to cut and sew and the deliver.
So everything is fine.
