Designed with both the soundperson and cameraperson in mind, this poncho has a great SAFETY feature! Our own unique design, this item has a window in the hood. We added velcro access strips to either side of the clear waist high gear viewing panel, and  a removable fabric flap on the front (if you are a camera man/woman who doesn't want to show off his/her marvelous physique)...a vent in the back allows air circulation and humidity to escape...and a tie around the waist lets you secure the poncho in a gale....
