The Gatewood Cape’s unique 360 Degree Protection provides full coverage either when worn as a cape or used as a shelter. Unlike ponchos capes don’t have long slits along the sides. While the poncho may allow for more ventilation it does little to keep out wind blown rain. Dual zipper pulls on the front of the Gatewood Cape allow you to regulate ventilation while still providing full protection. Plus the open skirted design allows fresh air to enter the bottom. As a shelter the Gatewood Cape provides significantly enhanced protection when compared to your typical poncho/tarp. Its sturdy pyramid design easily sheds rain or snow and wind simply flows around it. Any sudden change in wind direction in the middle of the night won’t leave you scrambling to re-orient your shelter or force you deeper into your bivy. Unlike a tarp the Gatewood Cape is a shaped tarp and eliminates all exposed sides leaving you safe and secure. With 35 square feet of coverage under the shelter’s canopy you’ve got plenty of room for you and your gear. Depending upon conditions you can even adjust the vestibule to different heights to increase ventilation. A long zipper on the vestibule makes opening and closing the shelter a snap. For the adventuresome day hiker the Gatewood Cape makes the perfect addition to your 10 essentials survival kit. It packs down incredibly small and provides peace of mind knowing you’ve got excellent protection close at hand. For added bug protection the Gatewood Cape mates with Six Moon Design’s Serenity NetTent. Together they keep both the rain and bugs at bay. Providing you with secure and comfortable space. Requires one pole Either a trekking pole or Six Moon Designs 45 inch carbon fiber tent pole. Sold separately. This tarp is not seam sealed.
