A full-length rain garment, the cagoule is sized to fit over everything, including your pack. It can even be used as a bivi shelter in an emergency. The fabric is a 200-denier Oxford nylon that is waterproofed with polyurethane, and all the seams are seam taped. The hood has two draw cords, one around the face and the other across the back of the head. The latter draw cord reduces the overall size of the hood for a better fit. There is a pouch pocket in the chest area. There are two shock-cord drawcords, one at the waist and the other at the base of the garment. It is as close to the ultimate in rain protection that you can get. The garment also provides excellent protection when used on a boat.
