Does anyone know anything about the Oware CatPoncho? I was thinking of getting the GoLite poncho/tarp but I noticed the warning on this site regarding pitching poncho tarps in the A-frame configuration. A lean-to seems less useful because of the exposure to the elements and/or need to shift the pitch as the weather changes. I would think the CatPoncho would solve that problem, but the details on it are sparse.

Nov 11, 2006 at 5:19 am #1366817If you look at the page for either of the SpinPonchos (found here) there is a link to a PDF that is called:

Once you click on the PDF you will find that it says not to pitch the SpinPoncho in an A-frame configuration. It says the plane of the hood needs to be…well…a plane, in other words, flat. It recommends a lean-to type pitch. That seems less useful to me. Perhaps it’s just because the material is spinnaker, but the Golite pictures of their poncho also show a lean-to.
