The Gatewood Cape is the super ultralight backpacker’s dream – shave ounces by combining your rain gear and tarp into one.

The Gatewood Cape is the ONLY poncho-style Tarp to provide complete 360° protection, either when worn as a cape or used as a shelter. Since its introduction in 2006, it has covered hundreds of thousands of trail miles. It provides shelter in everything from high mountain snow-choked ridges to lush forest trails.

With 35 square feet of coverage under the shelter's canopy, you've got plenty of room for you and your gear. 

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.

Features:

• Dual zipper pulls on the front of the Gatewood Cape allow you to regulate ventilation while still providing full protection
• Micro buckles connect the harness to cape for easy installation and removal
• Full 360-degree protection when set up as a shelter or worn as rain gear
• Full zippered entrance makes entering and exiting the shelter a snap
• Adjustable vestibule height allows you to increase ventilation while maintaining adequate rain protection
• Side snaps for shortening the long sides when worn as a cape
• Floating canopy allows the canopy to be set to different heights depending on conditions
• Integrated stash pocket with zipper closure to keep stuff contained, doubles as a stuff sack 
• Center pole support significantly improves the ability of the shelter to handle wind and snow loads.
• Easy setup

*Note: To completely repel water, shelters need to have sealer applied to the seams before use. Seam Sealer available HERE.
