Integral Designs Silcoat Cape
Made entirely from 1.1oz silicone impregnated parachute ripstop nylon, this is a poncho-style cape which provides wind and rain protection while hiking or standing in one place. Adjustable shock cord in back allows the hem to be drawn inwards to cut down on flapping and to secure around a small backpack.
Our Verdict
Very simple design and concept, the fabric is completely waterproof and breathability is facilitated by the open cape design.
