11 oz - 310 g Solo Tarp

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. Since its introduction in 2006, it has been carried over hundreds of thousands of trail miles. It’s provided shelter in everything from high mountain snow-choked ridges to lush forest trails.

*To completely repel water, shelters need to have sealer applied to the seams before use.
*Shelters including a seam sealing service may not ship immediately.

Description

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.

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.

After spending several years coming up with the design. The Gatewood Cape became my primary shelter for years. My good friend Billy Goat has racked up over 10,000 miles with his Gatewood Cape and Serenity NetTent.

Good Product
I love this brand, but haven't been able to find it lately in stores in my area. It's probably the best self tanner I've used overall. Shipping from this seller was pretty quick. Color is believable- even on my pasty pale, next to white skin. If you're like me, you have to be careful of products that turn you orange. With the "dark" shade, you still need more than one application to actually be dark. To me, that's okay because you can control the color. First application gives a nice color, second application gives a deeper tan. However, I may get the ultra dark next time. I love the sprays best because they dry fast, give the best, most even, controllable application and I have better luck with these than lotions. With lotions, you are gooey and sticky and there is more stuff transferring on your clothes. Never wear white anyway when you first apply self-tanner! Best to do it before you go to bed. I really like that it is tinted. Not only do you get an instant, believable color while you wait for the self tanner to do its job, but you can see where it goes so you don't end up with streaks. Because of the tint, place an old towel on the floor as a drop cloth. Wash your hands between applying to body parts to avoid staining your palms. Yeah, the usual Self Tanning 101 stuff. You do end up with a hint of that self-tanner smell and I have used other products that are better as far as this goes, but it's nothing too bad. They all have that smell to some degree or other. Your tan lasts about 4-5 days and is easy to exfoliate off, without flaking off in weird patches. Best of all, this product is cruelty-free and no animal testing!!

A fantastic self tanning product.
I have been using this self tanner for years. So glad Amazon carries it. It's a bit tricky to use and be prepared to use in an area that is protected. Like using a drop cloth and using care with surrounding areas. It also can stain hands and feet so use gloves and cover the bottoms of your feet. The good part after all that is ,a beautiful deep rich tan. I have fooled many using this product. You cannot spray too close or it will run or not go on evenly. It also at times has faulty cans that drip and are messy. Used to that after all this time. The liquid that leaks is green. Now after all that, it does not sound all that appealing but, trying to give some guidance because it is worth the effort. I have heard rumor that it was used on the show Baywatch to give them that true sun kissed bronze look. It literally in one spraying has you tan. You can darken by using every few days. I usually spray it on before bed, let it dry well and wear overnight to let it set up and develop. It has a sort of almond scent so the smell is decent. I will mist my face alone if I just want a bit of color during the colder months before I leave the house . I just mist a bit less and let it dry. Not saying this is the most user friendly product but, will keep working around its faults to keep glowing. Best at home tan as good as a spray tan from a salon.

Beautiful bronze color!
This is a nice spray mist tan that gradually gets deeper in color within a couple hours after application. It did not make me look orange at all rather a great beach bronze color. It’s a bit difficult to spray my legs evenly all around while staying within the range/ distance it recommends in order to avoid lines, drilling and streaks. Next time I’m asking my friend to spray me. The spray mist on skin will stay on for 3 days before it begins to wear offs. I suggest exfoliating in between spray tanning

Great self-tanner -- VERY light color
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
First of all, I must confess -- I am a self-tanning junkie. Okay -- I said it. I have used MANY, MANY self-tanning products over the years. This was the first time I had purchased this brand, and I was pleased. Pleased. Not thrilled. Just pleased. The product delivers nice, good quality color. It has a pleasant feeling on the skin. Smells lovely. My ONLY complaint is this: the color was not dark or deep, which is the #1 thing I seek in a self-tanner. I want deep, dark color -- I want to appear...well....TANNED! This product simply did not deliver the dark color I was seeking. I would definitely recommend this self-tanner to anyone looking for a LIGHTLY COLORED tanning effect. This product delivers a lightly peachy-colored tan. It dries VERY quickly and evenly.

The best
Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve purchased all the best brands of self tanner at Ulta. This is the only brand I’ve used that actually doesn’t have that smell we all hate. Other brands claim to not smell but they always end up smelling, but not this one. And the tan looks so natural and amazing. Repeat buyer and will be putting this on auto ship. I would recommend the lotion however, over the spray. The spray didn’t go on as even as I hoped, but I’ll just switch back to the lotion. Just thought I’d try something different this time. The lotion is amazing.
