          Makes a great lean-to

                Intended to pack the product use as rainy protection on the Camino de Santiago de Compostella. I purchased the poncho to protect against rain on a 50 day pilgrimage. Got it home, read the info, there was more info about how to use the poncho as an emergency lean-to than as a poncho. It is huge; like trying to wear a bedspread! I can't imagine what this poncho would be like in a rainy windy storm. Don't know how one would keep it on. I didn't get to apply the poncho in the rain...it actually IS a portable lean-to masquerading as a poncho...weird.

                Comments about Outdoor Products Multi-Purpose Poncho:

                I read the previous reviews and it almost swayed me to not buy this product. I took the chance anyway and I am glad I did.

                Some things that weren't obvious in the description:
                Has nylon webbing tie downs for use as a simple shelter (works great)
                Can easily fit over a normal 33L backpack
                Not very breathable fabric

                This should not be used as your primary defense for rain. it is not sealed at the sides (like all ponchos) and quick hiking would definitely allow some water to make its way inside. Also, the fabric doesn't seem very breathable so I would imagine that a lot of condensation from a sweaty hiker would get trapped. I have yet to have actual water from the outside touch my skin.

                It packs down really well, hood and fit is pretty much universal...I can't think of a real complaint for this product. For a multi-purpose, well made product like this, it is a steal at the price.

                • Feels true to size

                  Comments about Outdoor Products Multi-Purpose Poncho:

                  I wore this poncho hiking in Iceland during periods of light to heavy rain. It is neither waterproof nor water resistant. In a moderate rain, I got soaked underneath. I would not recommend it to anyone and will return it to REI.

                  Can not rely on this product to keep you dry as it leaks like a sieve even in a slow rain; the term water resistent is very misleading and not representative of the performance of this product in a very mild rain
