All this talk of poncho liners got me thinking: What is a good choice for the poncho itself? I recall my old USGI poncho as being a heavy, rubberized-feeling thing. Is there a good, specific model of poncho, maybe of ripstop nylon or even sil-nylon, that would tie in well with a poncho liner but still be lightweight, that anyone can recommend?

Also, any suggestions on modifying the liner with an opening to fit over the head? I dimly recall someone making a model like that.

Thanks.
