This is my second order after using all of the previous ones. I knew having these in my car for 5 years would eventually pay off. When there was a massive downpour at the Limp Bizkit concert, guess who was the only non-wet dummie in the place? THIS GUY. The hood with a drawstring makes it much better than all others. The rain wont fall all down the large neck hole and soak your shirt when you pull the string closed. The only thing this poncho could not save is the fact they cancelled Corey Feldman's opening act because of the storm, but that's for a later lawsuit. Long Live The Comeback King!!!!

The plastic material used to make the ponchos is sturdy enough to keep one dry in moderately unpleasant weather. The poncho is tough enough to be hung out to dry and refolded and used again with moderate care. I have shared some to friends who all mentioned how surprisingly effective they were.

Did the job on the Seadog Extreme but rips easily. Hood is useless.

Let me start by saying, this is a great poncho!It is thicker than the usual garbage bag style ponchos and it is surprisingly good quality for the price.The hood comes with an adjustable strap so you can tighten it up and not let the wind blow it away.I went backpacking in the rain forest in Puerto Rico and this thing saved me from sleeping in a cold wet sleeping bag!There are always space issues when you go backpacking so of course you tie things like your sleeping bag and yoga mat on your backpack.Not to mention your second pair of shoes which is supposed to dry off while your hiking to the next camp sight.And all of a sudden it starts pouring down... cuz you're in a rain forest, duh!I kept this in the side pocket of my backpack for easy access. Whenever it started pouring down all of a sudden, I would just reach out and grab it.I'm 5' 6'', 120 lb and my backpack is pretty big. The poncho was big enough to cover both me and the backpack and keep me dry.It is good quality, I used it almost every day for about a week. It stood up to the challenge marvelously.I managed to poke a couple of holes in it but that was because I would get caught on thorns during the bush wack hike.But still, I put this poncho thru hell and it survived.I didn't bother bringing it back as I thought I would just get a new one next time I go hiking. But I could have kept it and reused it for next time.

I purchased these ponchos to go in my backpacking gear, football game stadium seats and get-home bag. Things I really like: It packs down small. The draw-string hood sets this apart from other throw-away ponchos. It's big enough to mostly cover a backpack. It WILL keep the rain off of you. What I don't like: It's not particularly tough (it tears easily), but it's DISPOSABLE.All-in-all a nice product that will keep you dry when you have nothing else.

We were looking for some emergency ponchos for friends coming to visit us in Florida. The daily rain showers can temporarily disrupt things so we bought 4 of these for the folks coming to visit. I "thought" we were going to get slightly better than saran wrap but boy were we wrong. They are just about saran wrap at best. Granted we wanted easy to carry and light weight but this is down right wrong. We could wrap our friends in saran wrap and do just as well. We will keep them for under our car seat or perhaps to cover food at a picnic but that is it. Heck I thought they would even have a little pouch to put them in when done. Nope.... We'll be looking for some more ponchos for our friends.

Its disposable. Its not meant to be anything but. That being said, its still a good poncho. I've found that there are 2 types of ponchos- the military-style "blousy" ones, and the ones that are more "jacket" like. This is the jacket-like style, and can't really be used as a shelter in an emergency situation. It does, however, come with a little string, which might be handy should SHTF. I use them in my truck, travel bag and work bag and I even received compliments on them a few times (once from friends at the beginning of a road race when it started to rain very hard and I handed out the ponchos in my truck, and once from everyone at a Patriots game who were getting soaked by the sideways rain that went through the open sides of their military-style cheap plastic clear ponchos). One big down-side to these ponchos, tho, is that they don't breathe well, and it can get a bit sticky in there if you are wearing it on the go.

Got these to test for our walking pilgrimage trip to santiago de compostela. Big enough to cover a back pack, and more important was the drawstring hood. I had purchased some other brands that work only if you are still in a non windy area (like a stadium). This brand is kinda thin but worked to keep me dry. Would tear easily if not careful but works if walking in rain. Plan to order more to have a new one each day of rain (of course who knows when it will rain?)

The poncho we used fit over 4 layers & heavy hooded coat plus helmet- long enough to keep most of your lower half dry even in slant-driven rain. Excess plastic flaps/pulls like a sail for smaller users in heavy wind- which the drawstring hood helps for. If you're carrying gear you might easily stretch-rip holes in the thin plastic (better than split-rip though, and a fair tradeoff for its compact/disposable nature, plus better mobility than wearing a heavier raincoat)- but we got a few uses from one before several holes were snagged by an ice pick going to and from its holster. Did its job well even in the conditions we put it through.
