TWO NEW CATENARY CUT PONCHO RAINFLYS
Ultralight backpackers are always looking for products that can serve a double purpose and we have had several inquiries for a rainfly which can double as a poncho. We've made several prototypes with hoods sewn into the center of the poncho/rainfly and have concluded that when ever you have a big hole through the middle of your rainfly, you have a good chance of getting wet. Our new Cat Cape is a standard silnylon rainfly with three new features - first, this fly is catenary cut. That means we have cut 8" of slack out of the middle for a taut set-up. We have also attached a barely noticeable 24" double -slider black jacket zipper on one of the long sides. To use the rainfly as a poncho, just throw the zippered long side over your head or shoulders and zip it up. To adjust the length of the Cat Cape, tuck the two lower corners of the rainfly into your belt or pocket. This fly also has silnylon reinforcements at the side tie-out corner which include integral pockets for storage of fly lines.
