I bought this as a backpack and poncho to cover my body for mountain trips, but I didn't encounter many rainy days on my hikes, so I didn't use it. Also, I recently bought a poncho of a different color, so I'm putting this one up for sale. It's unused. It can be used on rainy days other than mountain trips. *Please note that this item has been stored by a private individual. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to this.*
