A Hareline Half Cape puts feather sizes 4 to 18, most between 10 and 16, in one package, covering most dry fly and streamer work in grizzly color without buying a full cape.
Specifications
Source: Half cape from a rooster
Size Range: Feathers size 4 to 18, with most falling between 10 and 16
Color: Grizzly
Best for: dry flies and streamers; flatten the feather butt with pliers when tying streamers so it lays correctly on the hook.
Flatten the feather butt with pliers when tying streamers so it lays correctly on the hook, and storing the cape in a sealed bag keeps feather quality from degrading between tying sessions.
FAQ
Q: Half cape or full cape — which one to buy?
A half cape covers most dry fly and streamer work in one color at a lower cost; step up to a full cape only if a pattern book needs a size range or feather count beyond what a half cape provides.

I purchased a three pack and used each of the dark and light ginger hackles as well as the bleached grizzly to tie slate drakes, sulphurs, and adams flies. They performed well and are flexible making it easy to wrap around parachute posts.
