Video Transcription

so this is a PSS the standard poncho the same length front and back they're each down here in the front it comes just a hair below my kneecap I'm 5 foot 10 this is a multicam this is ApS SL that's the size I normally always wear yeah and it works fits really well for me like I say I'm 5 foot 10 and again just a little bit below my knee cap here's the link in the front now the back this one's different the PS SL is long in the back the PS the L stands for long and it really means also long in the back so you see the back is 12 inches longer than the front my wife is 5 foot 6 she also wears this hood works good on her so that is a couple reasons one if you need to sit on the ground damp moist ground or whatever you can pull that extra length on the back and sit on it instead of sitting on the wet ground also people like it for wearing a a backpack or something like that

underneath the poncho still gives them good coverage in the back Oh which is probably one of the most common sizes people buy fits anywhere from someone about five six on up to in the six six foot two or three or something like that alright this one I've got on now is the PSS XL so this one is this one is long in the front and in the back so whereas the PSS was 42 inches shoulder to front and shoulder the back the PS SL was twelve forty two inches front 54 inches back this one's 54 inches from the shoulder down in the front and the same 54 inches from the shoulder down in the back well this one is long front and back

this one is doable for me if I were just hiking on a regular trail or walking down the road or whatever I can do this if I just get jetting up through the wood

the rainstorm or whatever I'm going to occasionally be kind of stepping on this front because I'm not tall enough to hold it up high enough see how me it comes down to the top of my foot well I would have a lot of people buying this buying these one thing to think about is when your arm is down there's no support for the fabric out on the end so it will hang lower not on the end that it hangs at your shoulder so with this one I'm going to get a little bit of dragging on the sides because I'm not quite tall enough I'm only 510 would recommend this for really about six foot four but anybody taller than me can use it all right now let's get into the fabric widths so this is what a narrowest right here and there's almost everything is whiter than this is about the only one this narrow this is the real tree extra super super light you see it comes it comes about a maybe an inch or so shorter on my arms and a standard width like the black one of the multicam that I showed you all right so here's our standard width virtually all of our Poncho's all or almost all our Poncho's are about this width right here so you see it on me it's coming right about to my wrist so it's a little bit an inch or maybe a little bit more than the last one that I showed you the Realtree extra so that's that's right there again I'm 5/10 so I'll give you an idea where it comes to okay so this one right here is our X wide series so you see that comes clear out to the back of my hand that's several inches longer than our standard width even with my arm down you can see it's still coming onto part of the back of my hand the super you ELLs are also an X wide they're not quite as wide as this one but they're pretty close you
