Six Moon Designs Gatewood Cape Tarp and Rain Cover
An ultralight backpacker's dream combines rain gear and shelter into one small package
It's been used to provide shelter from everything including high mountain snow-choked ridges to lush forest trails. The Gatewood Cape is an ultralight, ultra-versatile shelter system that can be worn as a poncho while also capable of being set up as a tent, or rain cover. Highly compressible when packed, the Gatewood Cape canopy expands to cover an area of 35 ft2/3,25 square meters.

Design
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 windblown 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 traditional tarp, the Gatewood Cape is shaped to eliminate all exposed sides -- leaving you safe and secure.
Construction
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 the Serenity NetTent. Together they keep both the rain and bugs at bay. Providing you with secure and comfortable space.
Make it a Bundle
The Gatewood Cape Bundle is an ultralight, ultra-versatile shelter system that can be worn as a poncho while also capable of being set up as a tent, a tarp, or a net tent. Highly compressible when packed, the Gatewood Cape canopy expands to cover an area of 35 ft². The Gatewood Cape Bundle includes both the Gatewood Cape and the Serenity NetTent.

Light and versatile. Long enough for me 1,91m. In Combination with my light weight Bivy , I will take on teh AT in 2 weeks. Looking forward. Seam sealing was not a big deal and it will last longer than taped seems.

I'll just use it for shelter. I have another poncho in my backpack. The space is comfortable for one, the weight is minimal, it doesn't get wet, just luxury. I can only RECOMMEND.
Užím jen jako přístřešek. Pončo mám v batohu jiné. Prostor je pro jednoho pohodlný, váha minimální, nepromokne, prostě luxus. Mohu jen DOPORUČIT.
