Can't use rain coats

My body runs warm and I can't use a conventional rain jacket. The poncho works great!!! Not quite as good for rain protection, but sufficient, plus I don't sweat like a you know what. The other invaluable use for the poncho, it can act as a blackout screen over windows that have inadequate light blockage. Dual purpose, what a deal!!!

Grommets Do Not Hold In Wind

Used once during a wet, windy storm in Yosemite and the grommets would separate with every gust of wind. If there is no wind, this poncho would be fine.

Easier to fold up than expected

3 years ago

Normally items like this just get "wadded up and shoved back in" the carrying case, but i was able to fold it up and put it back in the case on the first try. Not folded to "factory specs" -- but it worked. It's comfortable, a little tight around my head (I have a big melon on my shoulders) but I could get it on easily. And the corners do have some loops sewn in so it could (theoretically at least) serve as a shelter. I haven't tried that yet but I will test it. Overall, I'd like it to be just a fraction larger--but it's not bad at all and I'm a big guy.

The last poncho I'll need to buy ever again.

2 years ago

I remember in the 90's growing up, my parents had a bin of plastic ponchos for rain and storms. I was looking to get something like this in case of rain for a baseball game. as the game ended and I walked back to my car, it started to POUR. I whipped out this poncho from its carry sack, which fit in my cargo shorts. Everything not covered by this poncho was soaked - everything UNDER the poncho stayed dry! The poncho itself dried quickly when I got home, folded easily again into the carrier. I'm so glad I made this purchase.

Poncho via

11 months ago

Useful backup rain gear. Compact. It should have a longer back panel. I often sit on the ground in the rain, the length just covers my butt. A few more inches would be perfect. Also, thumb loops should be added to the end of the "sleeves". This would secure the poncho in the wind. I had a poncho that had these and they were awesome. I will add a pair to this poncho, but it should be a factory standard item.

Stronger than I expected

2 years ago

Much more sturdy than your average poncho! I came into a local REI store to purchase one during the flooding in California in the beginning of the year but they were sold out. I'd been using Home Depot-purchased ponchos previously when it was pouring and I needed to walk my dog. This poncho could be a little bit better in the snaps department-- there's only one set of snaps on each side, so if it's really windy, this will be flapping around like a flag in the wind. However, I can say that it's much sturdier and didn't rip after 2 uses like the Home Depot one.

would not recommend

1 year ago

Took this out on a windy and rainy day of activities and got completely drenched underneath the poncho- the fabric itself is seemingly not waterproof, and the fit is super weird. The sides to not really seal, there is no way to cover yourself, especially with any amount of wind. Additionally, the neck width is at least twice the width of any normal neckline, so even with the hood up and tightened, the fit is super wonky. Ended up returning this product. I’d avoid this product, especially with the high price tag

A travel necessity for Norway or the Northwest

2 years ago

I used this poncho during a two week trip to Norway. It came in handy both as a ground cover to sit on during a picnic breakfast before a pulgrimage walk to Trondheim's Nidaros Cathedral and as a full cover over myself and my daypack when climbing the hill in Lillehammer to the Olympics museum in the rain. I love the mesh cover for the folded poncho. It stores nicely.

Great Fabric, Perfect Size

3 years ago

Purchased poncho for trip to Switzerland two weeks ago-worked great! The fabric is high quality, definitely waterproof, was large enough to fit over my backpack and go to my knees. Dries quickly, comes with a handy storage pouch.

Keep self and load dry

1 year ago

Poncho offers plenty of space for at least a small backpack (bigger than for a day pack). I cemented (cyanoacrylate) the lower part of the armholes. Doing it below the rivets on the side keeps your pockets dry. Worked one time; awaiting further testing. Tie the loops at the lowest part to tame the wind. The hood adjusts with a cord, but it still can creep forward and reduce one's view.
