Good idea, could be better

Overall, I like this item. It could use a few tweaks to make it a GREAT item. A few extra snaps on the side would be nice, and I plan on adding those myself. It would be great to have access to the kangaroo pocket from inside the poncho, allowing you to stay bundled up and still reach your necessary items. It is inexcusable that the hood doesn't have a drawstring. That's truly some lazy execution when it comes to design. The hood also has a strange "conehead" shape to it. I wouldn't mind having an option for a "long" or "tall" version, because I'd like it to cover more of my legs while sitting in the stands. Finally, the water "resistant" material is nice, but waterproof would be excellent. When the "resistance" runs out, who wants to sit in a soaked poncho, blanket, or anything for that matter? I'm 5'10 and 280, and it covers me pretty well.

Love

I live on a sailboat. I wanted something for cold morning when I don’t want to put on layers. This is nearly perfect. It’s not great in the wind though. The material is thin but it’s very warm. I wish it had a drawstring on the hood. I also wish the snaps were easier to reach. Other than that I’m going to keep looking my honcho poncho for curling up with a book or coffee in the cold weather. Btw, I purchase three different ponchos from Rei and this is the one I choose. Others were no good.

Perfect Poncho

Saw this on Miranda’s cross-country camping video, and bought it immediately! It’s perfect for Alaska. Sometimes I use it just watching TV.
