REI Members get back an estimated $ 3.00 on this item as part of their annual member refund.

The REI Member Dividend

The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

Comments about Outdoor Products Multi-Purpose Poncho - 56 x 80:

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

Comments about Outdoor Products Multi-Purpose Poncho - 56 x 80:

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.

Comments about Outdoor Products Multi-Purpose Poncho - 56 x 80:

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.
