Posted: Sat 21 May, 2016 1:16 pmLiterally not that big. I can't find dimensions but it looks much too small in the pictures I see. It's not a bridge hammock, and there's not enough room to get a flat lay.
While a bridge hammock that can also work as a tunnel tent is conceptually possible, it is doomed to be a compromise between the two.

If it will work in practice, I'm not that sure...

Y'know, I kinda prefer something a bit closer to waterproof for a tent or raingear.

Yeah the poncho is a nonsense but the tent/hammock idea is good.
They will sell a lot of those.

They specifically say that the poncho idea is for when you decide not to set up your "tent" and want to continue walking in the rain instead. So you would only do that if you are not going to later on convert the wet poncho into a tent.

The why would you want a 1kg poncho?
Just take a normal poncho
