Hi

For those interested, the folks at BackpackGearTest.org (BGT) have
recently completed six months testing of Cedar Tree's Packa. This is a
sort of combination poncho/pack cover which the manufacture, calls the
Packa.  You can find out more and the reports at:

http://www.backpackgeartest.org/thepacka/

Testing at BGT is undertaken by "ordinary" backpackers (hikers,
trampers, bushwalkers, ramblers) in the US and Internationally.  BGT
is always open for people interested in getting involved in gear
testing.  You can find out more by reading "How to Become a Tester" at
http://www.backpackgeartest.org/lesson.php?lesson=BecomeTester&page=1
