(7) To use the tent as a short coat (See Figure 2-11), proceed as follows:
(a) Remove the tent from the carrying bag, shake tent.
(b) Unzip the head and foot ends of the tent. Starting at the foot end close the zipper to the
first Velcro patch or near your belt line with foot end touching the ground.
(c) With the zipped side facing you and the foot end toward the ground, hold the tent near the
hood opening and step into the zipped portion with both feet.
(d) Put your head through the hood opening and flip the unzipped portion of the tent over your
shoulders to form a cape.
(e) With both arms inside, reach down and grab the bottom hem (View A). Pull the bottom
hem inside and up so that the draw cord sleeve is at your waist. The draw cord ends are now at
the back.
(f)
Reach into both ends of the draw cord sleeve and pull out ends of the draw cord. Cross the
draw cord ends behind your back and pull them snug around to the front of the waist (View B).
(g) Bring the cords around each side and cinch the cord across your waist. Smooth the fabric
to the back for a neater appearance. If more protection is desired, utilize the hook and pile tape
(two per sleeve) to enclose sleeve openings.
