Waterproof Ranger Lite

As a Floridian, this was perfect! I can wrap it around myself in sideways rain and stay dry, and it drapes loosely enough that I don’t end up drenched in sweat instead of rain. It’s also large enough that I have been able to wear it over my backpack and even keep my dog dry too in a lighter rain!

Outside of FL, I took it on a trip to southeast Alaska (notoriously rainy all the time) and it served me well in the 45-60* F rainy weather. All the locals loved it and wanted one themselves.

I look like an absolute dork, but that’s the point isn’t it? I’m about 5’1” and the cloak reaches the top of my ankles. The outer lining isn’t heavy or excessively crinkly. The inner lining is soft but not too warm; I could wear this in high summer. I like the two clasps near the neck of the cloak that keep it in place and I appreciate the two snaps along the opening to help hold the cloak together if you really needed it. You can tell this cloak was made for a broad shouldered man in mind, but the shoulders slope down nicely for a small woman. Now all I need to do is get a proper belt to hold my Hersir and I can go shopping at Walmart when it’s misting out. I’ll fit right in.

Great cloak. Surpassed my expectations. I was afraid it was gonna be made of the annoying rain jacket material that repels water but is super loud and feels like plastic. But I wasn't pleasantly surprised and thankful it was not. It's reminds me more like suede, even though it's not. Super well made and thought through. There's even some inconspicuous buttons down the front that are super useful for when I'm trying to use it as a rain coat. Would highly recommend. Well worth the money, and no regrets.

I am now living in an area known from frequent rain. I already had the warmer waterproof range cloak, but in the summer even here in SW Canada that it too heavy. This lite version does the trick. And I love the snaps that have been added. It will not make me sweat on days when it is, say, in the 60'sF or even above that, but it will keep the rain off. I suspected that that would be the case, which why I ordered it and had it sent to a package receiving point on the US side of the border. I endured a delay between its arrival and when I could get someone to drive me across the border to pick it up, but it was worth it. May its sales increase.

my wife loved hers as much as I enjoyed mine inngreen. Very handy for rain storms at the ren faire.
