will have to fold down for portaging the canoe-- ,, could also use as a sail going down wind--- or is that a mechanical advantage, even if it's attached to your head? ?? I digress. -- and it doubles as a costume to be Buzz Lightyear for Halloween....

No...tell me you didn't really get one! Looks like an unintentional parasail when the straight-line winds pickup or tornado passes through. Could end up in a tree top or worse??

I like it......good old fashioned American Capitalism. Not for me but I can envision situations where this might be a perfect solution. I lived near Seattle for 3 years and have seen it rain hard non-stop for 3 days and then go back to the usual winter drizzle.

I see the real use for this is not rain so much but maybe to keep the sun off. I could see utility or cable workers using these in places like Florida or Nevada.


We all laugh but I bet some money is going to be made.

I say we convince Adam to buy one for BWCA.com, put a flying moose on it, and we can pass it around like Float Stanley.

Just wow. I wonder what type of people would actually wear this.

I like it! It will go perfectly with my rain kilt.


Someone needs to add canoe braces to the hip belt and it will be versatile for BWCA.

That would work good for the Glamping crowd, they would buy anything.
