Hi folks, I'm looking for a extra long poncho to use in my EDC bag instead of the rain jacket and pants I keep in there for unforcasted rain and I hope that someone here could point me in the right direction.
Were I live sudden down pours are not uncommon in winter and by the time you dig out the jacket & pants your soaked (I should say that if the forcast is for rain I do take I heavier jacket than I keep in my bag)
The only "must have" requirements I have are the length and color. I'm 5'8" tall and would like the poncho to come to somewere between mid-calf and ankel on me, so I guess I need som thing about 3 1/2 - 4 feet from shoulder to heam or 7-8 feet long if opened up like a tarp.
I don't mind about colors but as this would be for day to day use in a semi urban location (I live in a rural area, but close to two small towns) I would prefer drab non camo colors i.e black, navy blue ect.
As for fabrics I don't have any preferences so long as its durable and if it could be opened as a tarp like the USGI ponchos that would be a nice plus.
Many thanks in advance
