Ketchum Quick, SASS #72923 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 A while ago Deuce Stevens and I were talking about a poncho that could be used in the rain. He thought it should be big enough to cover you up yet small enough to fit nicely in a gun cart box. At the time I thought he might be onto something. Deuce contacted J. Hornady dry goods about the idea months ago. Well they came up with a very nice version of that great idea and after seeing it yesterday at Deuces home I said we should spray it down with a garden hose just to see it work. Well it worked great. The material is breathable to keep you cooler then a rain coat would. As a side note I have a rain slicker that I like for the rain but if it is warm out and raining, you get uncomfortably hot as the slicker doesn't breath at all. Well I am hear to tell you that it works great and the water just beads up and runs off. I shot video while Deuce wore the poncho. Check it out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5izh4wpFhCY I have no steak in this I am just passing the informaton along. Ketchum Quick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrimstoneJerome Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Great success, that is handy. You are a good pal Ketchum, any opportunity I have to test water proof gear on my pals I am obliged to unleash a typhoon in their face if they need it or not. Buy Ketchum a cigar. Is there a link to a website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
