Leigh_Ratcliffe,

As for the suggestions... This jacket is ment to supplement what I will be currently carrying. Thats not to say i'll bring it with me every time, but will be encluded in my pack (whether business or hiking) if I feel the need to carry it.

I have plans to have a poncho that will act as a shelter/tarp if need be. And this is included in my regular gear.

Besides, wearing a poncho in NYC when it rains is 'out of the norm' and you stand out to the sheeples (sp?).



Bentirran,

Good link!!!!


Thanks for your suggestions,
Kris
