Can you wear your backpack under this poncho (like a patrol poncho)?

I can easily wear my day pack under this poncho. For reference, I am 6' 2" and about 175lbs

If your definition of "backpack" is a small one yes. If you expect to put bed roll, sleeping bag, tent etc attached to a backpak then no. Very nice poncho for the money.

Yes I think you could. This poncho is very capacious. A little heavy for lightweight backpacking, I would think though.

Never wore back pack under it while raining, but I am sure you could, for it has a hell of a lot of room under it, very spacious.

No. It comes with a strap you wear around your chest. It's comfortable, and can be worn under your shirt.

You will need loose fitting pants. The item is relatively bulky and not designed to be worn under pants.

Don't drop it in the water but it should be OK for carrying around. If you are out in downpour put it under your poncho.

i suppose you can wear it backwards, but you better not have a chest. i tried it once, and have little cleavage, but it was still kinda embarrassing. it squished everything in the wrong places. this is due to the criss cross back. you can't wear the straps straight like a backpack, they have to be crossed.

Yes, it is definitely waterproof. There's plenty of room to wear a small pack under the poncho.

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking, but here's the info you probably want. Hubby is 5'8" and wears a 2XL. The easily fits over his clothing and outerwear - with plenty of room to spare. It hangs down below his knees but is high enough that he can easily walk while wearing it. The poncho is loose enough that you can easily drape it over you and your gear while sitting and not have it pull. The weight is negligible while wearing. If you are looking to carry it, I would recommend using a small compression sack as the 3D aspect can make it bulky. If not a compression sack, then still use something to keep the leaves and webbing from getting tangled or caught up in other gear.

Yes. I can wear mine under a flight suit or utility trousers but not under standard-fit pants like jeans.

Because I like this poncho better than my other two mil-spec ones, I'm careful to NOT let it brush up against burrs or picker-bushes because I fear they might pull the threads and start it fraying. If you're in need of something durable enough to handle being exposed to rough materials directly on the ground, I'd strongly recommend using a standard rain poncho as a barrier between this poncho liner and anything it might come in contact with. If you're not open to using a rain poncho, then maybe cut a small section out of a larger tarp and use that as a protective barrier instead.

It would be very uncomfortable to wear in the front, I think. It's a pretty long backpack that's why.

Sorry about the delay with my response, but yes you could also wear it strapped around the waist - it would be large and bulky, but I think it would be3 dooable, the shoulder strap detaches and there are two spots on the back you could clip them to.

I don't think so but can't say for sure because i always tuck it into pants--i wear it only under stuff. It is very long. Sorry i can't help more.

The material is too thick to cleanly pack into a pocket like a poncho would. I've rolled it like a shirt and stored it in my luggage that way, and it doesn't take up as much room as a regular shirt would but it's not a ultrathin jacket. It doesn't have any thick or rigid parts. For me the trade off was the super-thin jackets tended to not be as water resistant, as I've had an LL Bean jacket that got humid on the inside even with a little bit of rain.

You won't be able to wear it as a backpack, especially if you have your foldable inside it, as it is not designed for shoulder carrying. The carrying handle is also not padded. However, if you're talking about an empty bag, in its case, then you may sling it over the shoulders, although it might be a bit lose, depending on your frame. While empty, the bag is pretty light, so it should not bite through your shoulders.

You can you might have to do some fitting with it. I use mine for hunting so I can carry all my gear on me.

No you cannot wear this device under clothing......The weights are much too bulky.

It is possible to run a belt or something through the loop on the back. It wasn't that comfortable for me when I tried it for hiking though.
