Similarly in my case the convertible poncho would be nice, except that rain always seems to come with a headwind which would be very heavy going in such a big waterproof. They'd be good if you could wait out the weather, or make very limited progress for a day. | |

They're be less good than a tarp tent if mixing campsites and wild camping, and get rather expensive. But for very similar cases they'd be perfect | |

There are better bags than that pictured (for use over a sleeping bag in the cold, or on their own in the warm. They woudln't really be acceptable if I did find a campsite. | |
