>>2717605With the jacket zipped all the way up?
I just did it for the photo because I thought it would be kinda funny. It was drizzling though and I did have the hood up, just not zipped up like that.
>>2717605Thank you homie

>>2717618Not true. That guy's arms would get wet and his hood would fly off in the breeze. Plus that poncho would be sticky and not let out the sweat. Ponchos also don't work that well with a pack, and thin ones rip very easily since there is lots of extra material. If you have to buy a new one every time it's not very good.
>>2717653I wouldn't worry about it
>>2717669Hmm. Interesting point. If you are solo hiking in the middle of nowhere or a place where hardly anyone goes then perhaps I understand. People like myself who wear bright colours are usually on well known trails or safer areas in general when they do it. Many shell jackets are made for alpine conditions, so you can understand why people want to be easily seen in that scenario. You wouldn't want to blend in with the snow if an accident happened.
If you were real back-country and alone I can see that you'd be more nervous about your personal safety.
I also have a camo jacket if I want to do some more stealth camping type stuff.
I just think trying to look like you're hiding while on a public trail is a bit silly.
Pic is me on Mont Blanc with my camo shell jacket. Didn't climb the mountain, just took the cable car as we only had a day in Chamonix.
