Review on Waterproof Poncho For Outdoor Activities - Lightweight And Reusable Rain Jacket With Hood For Hiking And More by Stanley Redline

It took three tries for me to get a poncho that had all three of the advertised "snaps" on both sides. The seller did a great job of responding to complaints and issuing a code for replacements (two of them, which came quickly). The first two ponchos were the green model. The third was blue. The blue poncho was superior in every way to the green ones. It has all of the snaps, and the materials seem to be of a higher quality. As one should expect, the material itself does not breathe, but I think the garment is vented well enough to perform as hoped in warmer, more humid weather. It is very light, which is good, but I wonder how durable the fabric will turn out to be (for a re-usable item) and how well it will hold up in strong wind and heavy rain. We will see. The zipper on the front makes it much easier to put on and can help vent some heat. The plastic visor is probably a good thing, although it would be better if it was made of a material that is a bit stiffer and can be repeatedly bent into a desired shape. It has good length, although it could be even longer for someone my height (6' 3"). It takes a bit of care to fold it back up small enough to fit in its pouch. I suspect that I will ultimately conclude that it is a bit pricey for the amount of benefit that I will get from it, but I will reserve judgment until I have used it a few times.
