I ran across the AMK Survive Outdoors Longer® Survival Poncho while surfing and thought it worth a look. It's not long in the back as a true backpacker's poncho should be, but it would probably get by with a day pack. This is something I might take on a summer day hike for basic CYA level rain protection. Anybody tried one?
There is a video at the AMK site that is illuminating:
