For this price point, outstanding
Used these ponchos to attend the SF Giants Parade in 2014 for the on and off again rain. Worked well for that weather.
Pros:
- Inexpensive: $5 on 10/30/14
- Compresses down to about 2.5" x 2.5" x 1" when folded up back into the hood.
- Lightweight; stored (5) in small backpack with ease.
- Buttons along sides for windy conditions.
- Large (2) rectangle design (4' x 3') also works well as a 2-ply tarp.
Cons:
- The hood is quite small. Larger heads will feel squished. Hairstyling not recommended.
- Non-existent coverage on legs.
- Does not breathe well - worked up a good sweat walking around SF Downtown.

Durable and Reusable as a bargain price
I really love mine. Needed them for 2 days hiking in the fog and drizzle. It fits the bill for a great price, while being reusable and not a throw away item. Cheers for less plastic in the landfills!!

Great Poncho for the money
Great for the $$. I wanted a cheap, almost disposable poncho. I always like to have one in my pack. This was perfect

Convenient
Bought this for a trip to NYC where there was a possibility of rain at the baseball game. Did not end up using it but it seemed to constructed pretty well so I'll keep it. For the price, it's good for emergencies.

Much better than disposable ponchos
Seems large enough and made well. Disposables are so light; one worries about ripping, fumbling to unfurl very thin plastic, and then what to do when there's a break in the rain? The Red Ledge promises to be able to be shaken off, folded, and put back in its pouch, ready for when it starts raining again.

Lightweight and does the Job
I bought this for a road/camping trip because I'd forgotten to pack my rain coat. For the price, pack-ability, and protection, it was worth the five dollars. Easy to throw in a day pack and forget about until you need it. Big enough that it can keep your core, head, and even your bag dry if you get caught in nasty weather. The only reason I gave this a 4/5 is that the REI store I bought it at only had the white/clear in stock. It'd have been nice to buy one in a high-visibility color.

Best $5 ever spent
I wore this 3 days in a row to watch an ultimate tournament in Seattle. You can wear your choice of layers underneath and always be comfortable, sitting and standing (don't underestimate the value of having a dry butt and legs). I shifted between a sweatshirt, a north face nanopuff, and a wool overcoat under this fabulous simple item. The hood is small, but I have a pinhead, so not an issue for me, but you can buy a super nice hat if you have only spent $5 on a poncho.

I am moving to Manila and will be in walking distance to my new job. Is this poncho large enough to cover a backpack when wearing? I am 5'9" with an average woman's size.
The Vinyl Poncho is not the best choice for hiking with a pack. The Outdoor Products Packframe Poncho is the better choice.

I a man 6 ft. 215 lbs. will it fit.
​This poncho will likely fit; the width is 52 inches.
