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.

Falling apart
Size: 5 Big Kid, Color: Teal/Periwinkle, Size: 5 Big Kid, Color: Teal/Periwinkle
I bought these two weeks ago for my daughter to train and use for a mini triathalon she is doing and the sole tread are already coming apart in several areas. Including the toe. Not worth the money

Not True “Running” Shoes
Size: 3 Big Kid, Color: Plum/White
Okay every day shoes but not great for running. I’m a small adult, who happens to fit in kid sized shoes. While it has its perks of being cheaper, finding a good supportive shoe in youth size has its challenges. Youth shoes are not always built to last due to the fact kids grow out of them quickly. I had high hopes for these, and bought them on sale. Initially trying them on, they felt great. But after a few runs and miles on them they just weren’t cut out for running. I only ever do a mile here and there. After a month and maybe only 10 miles in them I was experiencing shin splints. So they’re only good for every day errands and I upgraded my running shoes to something else. They do fit true to size though! Was to clean. And very pretty purple.

PURPLE SAUCONY's BOYS KID SIZE 6
Size: 6 Big Kid, Color: Plum/White, Size: 6 Big Kid, Color: Plum/White
Nice, light and comfy though a bit hard no cushion but good if your kid runs through sneakers roughly....I hope! good that I had a discount applied otherwise these would go back due to if it would survive everyday wear and tear. Color is true to compare and size is true Boys kids 6. Consider how your child or grandchild will wear them! Update: sneaker is not water proof. Seems like a knock off because the bottom color of the souls are off and the two colors are off and distorted but as for comfort ok and it's not cushioned so be aware especially if your child needs support and comfort and dry feet!
