Thumbs up for the correct lavvu pitch! I see tons of youtubers pitch their lavvus inside out. BTW personaly I use bipod inside instead of a one center pole which I hate. Makes much more room inside.

Excellent informational video. I own six sets of size three Polish Ponchos. Five sets are put away for safe keeping. One set I modified with a skirt and zipper, I love it and just like yours, yes my FLAPS are inside, that's my choice! Which to me makes more sense. I think that the Polish Ponchos {Lavvus} are just an incredible piece of kit for all outdoors woodland back packing activities for all ages.

It's not about space under pałatka. Sizing is important if you plan to wear pałatka... because it is poncho after all. Size in cm I - 160-170, II - 170-180, III - 180-190+

Thanks for doing the measurements. Its important to have the numbers and a solid visual comparison. As others have mentioned in the comments, the size differences are to accommodate the different sized men who would be expected to wear these as ponchos...but are designed in a way that allows different sized ponchos to be combined without drastically affecting the resulting structure quality. It's a very clever design. Look at me go... I didn't know any of that when I bought mine, its thanks to people like you that I know even that much now. Thanks again.

Nice video. I have 3 of these Polish setups which equals to 6 rain capes. I found a complete kit on Etsy. I also purchased 4 Polish rain capes, when they had them (no poles n stakes) on Varusteleka.com and got 3 mediums and 1 small. The DDR (East German/NVA) tent poles and stakes kit works with these. The wooden poles are the same length as the aluminum poles issued with the Polish kit. I made paracord loops to go through the bottom grommet eyelets so I can use the DDR tent stakes or any tent stake. If you get the DDR tent poles and stake kit maybe sand the wooden poles lightly and apply some boiled linseed oil to the wood.

I think the sizes are more so for the fact that you can use it as a poncho. So it's not about room but more so about wearing it. So tall people may be better off with a size 3 and shorter people may like a size 1 so it's not gonna drag when wearing it. This is my complete guess, but it makes sense.

i dont get why you and basically everyone on youtube set up the lavvu INSIDEOUT. the flap around the neck area is a rain cape and is ment to be on the outside to provide extra water protection for you shoulders/body. putting the rain cape inside of the shelter is wrong. just because you see others do it does not mean it is the right way. thats like takeing the american poncho shelter and when you set it up, you make sure you put the outside faceing in, and the inside faceing the elements with the hood hanging down on the inside. it makes no sence and your video spreads bad information. but sadly, your video is just like almost all other lavvu videos on youtube. bad information. its an easy fix, but still bad information that people 100% believe.
@WildCampingNI
3 жыл бұрын
Why post such a toxic comment, especially when you are wrong. As a poncho the flap should be worn on the inside. Canvas soaks up water and swells to waterproof it. Having the flap on the inside allows the solid piece of material on the outside which soaks up the water and the flap gives an extra layer of protection against water transfer on the shoulders. It is also pitched this way in tent form also as the storm flaps on the arm holes keep the rain out. If only you did some research before shooting your mouth off.
