I got a brand new NRS catalog in the mail last evening and noticed something I'd never seen before - a cag styled to also function as a cover over the sprayskirt. Interesting concept. It's a "one size fits all", so no doubt too long for me to walk in it; and I wonder if it would truly fit some of the larger folk out there. One of the weird Girl Scout laws I don't quite understand is that ponchos are NOT allowed for our canoeists. My guess is they are a problem when they billow out in the wind, making it difficult to paddle and sure to get the poncho in the water and add to the general mess of wet weather paddling. There must be some middle ground out there somewhere.
