Waterproof Rain Poncho Lightweight Reusable Hiking Rain Coat Jacket with Hood for Outdoor Activities,One Size

Great product and always carries when out walking for those unexpected down pours. Very waterproof and reduced sweeting in the warmer days when compared to wearing raincoat. Wellmfinished and all stitching place. Good large fit and can be worn over your rucksack if no bigger than 30 ish litre pack. Dries quickly and can also double up as a ground sheet or even a shelter when use with walking pole or branch. Strong well made. Only improvement is if a belt like clasp was provided to allow better fit round the waist as can be a bit flappy in anything above a gentle breeze.

This is a wonderful rain poncho. I ordered it for a 16-mile walk where I was uncertain whether or not it would rain, and It kept me mostly dry when there was a short, sharp shower en route. I’m fairly tall (6ft) and the poncho covered most of my body down to my knees, as well as my backpack; I only did up the bottom two clasps on the sleeves as I wanted to be able to tuck my arms inside so they didn’t get wet. It folds up nicely into its little pouch, so I’ll definitely be keeping it in my bag and using it when I find myself in a spot of rain without an umbrella. However, the reason I’m giving it 4 stars is due to the smell - straight out of the packaging, it has a strong chemical odour (a similar smell to coffee, which I’m sure most people wouldn’t mind). As someone who is quite sensitive to smell, it was rather unpleasant.

I’ve yet to test it in the rain, but it’s solidly built and seems waterproof. Seams all sealed, poppers firm. Is it the best look I’ve ever had? No. But it’s lightweight, packable and brilliant to carry abroad on trips where it may or may not rain - much lighter than an umbrella and keeps you dryer. I’m five foot ten and this comes below my knees at the front and almost to my ankles at the back, so I’m happy with that. Plus once it stops raining I can whip it off and shove it in my day bag. It’s about the right price for what it is, as long as it lasts a while.

It seems good quality for the low cost. Seems to me will protect well from the rain. It's very long so for me (5 foot) it will be nearly dragging on the ground, which I do not mind, I actually would rather be fully covered. Will easily fit and cover a sizeable backpack. Went for the black one and I am happy with how it looks. There is no smell as others suggested.

Absolutely brilliant poncho for myself when out riding my bike keeps me warm and dry folds flat and small for storage

This is lightweight and waterproof. I bought it to use for rain when on my 'town' bike. It has 3 buttons down each side of the cape which can limit the amount it is allowed to blow about if the wind gets up. There are metal eyes around the perimeter which allow you to use it as an emergency survival shelter - if that's important to you. The hood has a slight peek which helps keep rain off your face, however, I've found the hood can deter visibility when on the bike and needing to look behind, as the hood doesn't tend to rotate with your head. I've attached a couple of bits of cord to the eyes at the front of the cape to allow me to put them over my handlebars to keep the cape fixed and providing good rain cover, however when rain is heavy and there's a bit of wind, it can be hard to keep your trousers dry. I've also used this for out walking, in the summer, when I want complete cover, but remaining cool and airy.

It's not waterproof, let's be clear, and never pretended to be. Last night I walked home from work, it took and hour and it raised constantly. I was relatively dry when I got in. I always keep it in my rucksack. Pros: Lightweight Packs small Love being able to pull my arms into the poncho Rainproof Cons Nothing really. For the money, this is a solid buy.

Great length for all the family and really good rip proof material. It felt well made and the push buttons all worked well. The hood was a bit tragic and misshaped so I sorted that by pulling it closer to my head with the pull cord. I haven't tested it in pouring rain yet, but I'm confident it'll be just fine.
