Review on Lightweight Waterproof Rain Poncho With Hood For Hiking And Outdoor Activities - Reusable Coat Jacket by Dangelo Toliver

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Short guys and gals - this fits

I’m a short guy (5’ 5” on best days) and no clothes from Revain ever fit me. Seeing a lot of the 6’ commenters say it hits below knees, I was afraid these ponchos would be to my ankles and drag all over. Nope. These come just below my knees. Maybe I’m thick enough to balloon it a few inches sideways? Eh, I’m not exactly fat either, probably would be considered on skinny side in USA. Long story short, it hits at just below my knees. For guys and gals 6’ and over, I’d imagine these will be mid thigh, mileage may vary, but these seem perfect for me.The pros: fabric seems better than I hoped. Thick enough and very light. One thing they don’t seem to mention a lot is that the few rain ponchos(that look like this one) that sell better than this one on Revain have a 3000mm rating while this one has 5000mm, which means this will likely last longer in rain before wetting out; this was my primary reason I got these over those. Kudos! These fold up super small. They should shrink the storage bag size. Probably made the bag bigger for the people who can’t be bothered to fold and roll and instead just stuffs it back in. Hope people don’t do that, and try to get as many uses as possible(landfills and all that). Fold and roll and there’s too much room left over on the storage bag, but that’s good. Storage bag is roughly size of 16oz water bottle but about 1/3 of it is empty space with the poncho inside. Very small. The pull strings around neck feel rugged for such a (half disposal) item. Price was very reasonable. I got the light grey one primarily by trying to get the lightest visible color for the lowest price. Looks alright.Cons: Nitpicking but ofc, the rain brim on the head is kind of a joke. All floppy floppy and way too big. Haha. Was expected. Not bothered. Snaps seem like they will rip out easily but just be careful or just stow them with them closed all the time? I think I will and hopefully will still be easy to dry like that. Like I said, for very tall folks will likely land mid thigh bordering on waist and may not work so well(I’m guessing 6’ 3” and over these may feel kinda ridiculously short) but works perfect for me. Thumbs up.

Pros
  • Product was for my son and he loves them. Going to give a couple as gifts.
Cons
  • It may be difficult to pack or carry around
