I get this... years ago I bought a somewhat ugly coat because it was the only one I had to take off rather quickly as I started to get hot and sweaty in the store. My boyfriend didn’t like it- he...

I sew mine on a little fanny pack that I use. I don’t expect it to be waterproof. If I needed it to be waterproof I would use the seam sealing method advised by tarptent.
