Review on Foxelli Lightweight Hooded Rain Poncho: Ultimate Occupational Health & Safety Gear in Emergency Response Equipment by Demetrius Patsion

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Rain Rain, go away or at least repel me!

I finally got a chance to try my Foxelli hooded rain poncho and I love it! No, literally. At first it was almost a drought. The moment he arrived the rain stopped here! SMX! But finally the rain came! So, first things first. It's easy to put on, but if you're wearing a hat or a cap and cap, you can take it off because the neck portal fits your head quite snugly. Your hat will "disappear" and you won't know where it went. I'm just talking because a friend said so. Right. .my boyfriend couldn't find his hat for minutes after he put on this poncho. Seems to be quite effective in keeping me dry even with a fairly full pack. The poncho is quite thin and offers very little protection from the cold air. or breeze so make sure you warm up underneath to stay warm if you find yourself in a cold rain. BUT being thin it packs up easily and slips into a backpack and is barely noticeable. The hood deflates fairly easily in moderate to strong winds, so you MUST use the neck adjustment system to tighten it to keep it from bunching. leave your skullcap. Thanks to the way this thing is designed (it's my first poncho) it's not too difficult to remove your hands to get your phone out of your pocket when you need to use it. OR just take your hands away, walk like a buddha. (FUN FACT of the day: Putting your phone in a Ziploc case keeps it dry, and the zippered material is just as effective as having nothing between your finger and the screen.) That's it. Don't put it on in the dark for the first time, it's quite confusing. Um, I'm just saying.

Pros
  • Camping & Hiking
Cons
  • Damaged
