Thanks for that. Do you find any other downside to the Duxback other that packing.
I have another poncho that is lightweight, but it also is yellow, and I prefer blending in than standing out.
I really like the retro feel to the Duxback, and I'm hoping the heavier material will be better for not blowing around. The hood also feels good. I was never a fan of hoods when cycling, but this seems cut well, so that it never obscures your view, and there's room for a hat with a brim under it to keep the rain out of my eyes.
Oh and the smell - I just love the smell. It reminds me of fly fishing, which I do too little of.
