A proper poncho is a very viable substitute for a waterproof jacket, especially so If you need to cut down your load weight or just want to carry less stuff. By swapping your waterproof jacket/suit and tarp for a poncho, you can easily shave off some of your load weight, and best of all, you have a few less bits of gear to look after.

Olen melko pitkä (~190) ja vähän jää ranteet esiin toiminnassa ja pääsee hihat kastumaan. Pitkävartiset käsineet tai vettä edes vähän paremmin pitävä takki alla on hyvä lisä jos on pidemään liikkeessä.
Muutoin tämän kanssa on helppo liikkua, housujen ja takin taskuihin pääsee helposti käsiksi (rintataskua joutuu vähän hakemaan), on kevyt, materiaali jopa hylkii vettä sanoisin joten ei jää märäksi, eikä tämä ole ikinä ns. tiellä.
Annan neljä tähteä ainoastaan, koska hihat kastui oman varustelun pettäessä. Pidemmät lappeet tässä kuitenkin haittaisivat toimintaa ja tämä hyvä juuri tällaisena.

It works fine with a baseball cap
It is possible but not too perfect. However it is much better with a baseball cap than without.
I will report
Could only test it dry so far, but it works fine with cap.
I can even fit my wide brimmed hat under it. So I have some more head space ;)
