Does anyone know where to a get a large before Dec 1st?
Oct 23, 2008 at 1:30 pm #1455868Don't forget to layer it with the equally tasteful MontBell Thermawrap skirt :)

It is my understanding that ULA coproduces the rain wrap with Etowah outfitters. The Etowah outfitters website lists a skirt that appears the same as the ULA rain wrap but you would need to contact them to find out for sure.
Oct 23, 2008 at 2:09 pm #1455878I don't think they make it in a size 38. Left out again.
Oct 23, 2008 at 2:10 pm #1455880Yeah, for like $11 more.
Oct 23, 2008 at 2:41 pm #1455887I have a new large one I will sell you, contact me at

.comOct 23, 2008 at 2:48 pm #1455888I've puchased a Thermawrap from Patrick before (jacket, not skirt). A "plus" rating definitely.
Oct 23, 2008 at 3:11 pm #1455891Do the sizes refer to length or waist size? I bought the large thinking it was for length (I'm tall) and the wasit was huge! I had to really cinch the elastic cord.
I like it though. Almost as versatile as a bandana :)
Oct 23, 2008 at 4:38 pm #1455903Hey thanks everyone. I have about a 38 waist so I think I will be fine with the L. I just need this before he reopens. Thanks again.
Oct 24, 2008 at 2:23 pm #1456044Hi,
I confirm that it is exactly the same rain wrap proposed by Etowah outfitters, to the 11 USD more compared to ULA.
I saw one in the "happy hiker" shop, Gatlinburg TN, at the border of the Great Smoky Mountains national park.
Definitely a great peace of kit.
Oct 25, 2008 at 8:09 am #1456128I wonder why the 44% mark up for the same piece of gear?
Oct 25, 2008 at 8:44 am #1456133AnonymousInactiveYou know this thread has brought to my attention what appears to be an incredibly efficient and convenient piece of rain gear for the climate I hike in most of the time. Unfortunately it is not available, ULA currently closed and Ettowah, who apparently targets prospective customers who have no sense of the value of a dollar. However it appears to be very simple and cheap to MYOG it. Just a rectangular piece of fabric with some Velcro or snaps. Has anyone done this?
Oct 27, 2008 at 6:33 am #1456331I have and it's indeed dead easy. I copied from some other (normal wear) skirt with a tapered waist but I guess you can just cut it straight like a cone section and it should be fine. I used velcro for the closure.
I works very well depeding on conditions. It's so light and packable you can carry it in a pocket and put it on almost on the go.
Oct 27, 2008 at 11:58 am #1456389>I have and it's indeed dead easy
Ditto. I just used the measurements off the ULA website and added a bit for the seams. Easy on, easy off, plus a great groundsheet/pack cover stc…
