ANYOO Hooded Rain Poncho for Adults Waterproof Lightweight Rain Coat for Men Women Reusable Rain Jacket for Emergency Outdoor

I’ve never been excited about a rain poncho until now
We have used rain ponchos before and keep a stash in our camping gear. They’re cheap, disposable, and basically a large garbage bag that we wear to stay dry despite the humiliation. Ours are bright orange as we bought them on clearance at the Coleman store. We’re doing some hiking in Costa Rica next month (for the first time) and learned that rain ponchos are highly recommended to bring especially since the weather is so unpredictable in the rain forests. I could just pack a few of our 99cent orange ones from Coleman, but something told me that was a bad idea. Here’s why:a) We need something neutral-colored. The fauna in the rain forest can get spooked by bright colors so it’s advised to keep colors neutral, especially during night hikes.b) I don’t trust the cheapy ponchos TBH. They’re adequate for a few minutes but longer than that, they lack durability.c) There’s a lot of stuff wrong with the cheapy ponchos, namely they don’t keep the sides dry, unless you’re sitting in the stands at a ball game. Which we won’t be.c) Come on. I want to have some sort of dignity & style, even though a rain poncho is the most unflattering clothing item in the history of man, we’ll be taking lots of photos so I don’t want to cringe whenever I look at hubby and I in the future. Something that looks like we at least made an effort to look presentable is preferred.I stumbled upon the ANYOO rain poncho and the reviews looked decent. What appealed to me most about this poncho is the color. Beige/clay is a color I don[‘t see often in rain ponchos, so I decided to give these a try. One for me (5’4″, 170lbs) one for hubby (5’11”, 200lbs).They arrived yesterday and I quickly removed one from it’s nifty nylon carrying case to assess the product. IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE TO BE ASTONISHED BY A RAIN PONCHO? Why yes, yes it is!1) The color is great. Love the natural beige color.2) The fabric is impressive. Heavier than our cheap disposable ponchos, but lighter than duffle bag material. And it’s ripstop.3) The stitching is also impressive, like it was made by the same people that make tents4) Reflective stripe on front and back? Nice touch!5) Pocket in the front, with a flap! Ingenious. I’m surprised this is not standard for a rain poncho!6) Optional buttons to close around arms and sides. Wow! Just Wow! Not only will this help to keep sides and arms dry, but it makes the poncho have a way nicer profile. Like I won’t look like I’m wearing a plastic tablecloth over my head!7) Hood with built in visor. Yes yes! So water doesn’t drip right onto my face!8) Lined interior, so it doesn’t feel like a sauna underneath with the humidity and rain (and possibly sun).9) Grommets/eyelets in the bottom corners. What? I didn’t even know it came with these until I was folding it back up. For those that don’t know, this is an invaluable feature that allows you to turn this poncho into a tent or shelter by tethering it through the grommets to ground or other stationary object. Whoever thought of this deserves a prize!10) Length is ideal for a 6’ tall person at least. It is higher in the front than the back which makes sense. But it still falls below the knees for protection.This poncho is A-MAZING. I’m literally excited to wear it because it was designed to be much more than just a waterproof barrier to keep you and your backpack dry. It actually has useable features that will make your rain-soaked adventure even more bearable!Only 3 concerns, but they are so minor. 1) The neck hole is not very big. My hubby has a fairly large neck but was able to get it over his head with no problem. I believe the reason they made they didn’t allow more space in the neck hole is to keep the water out. Duh. Makes sense. And 2) as someone else mentioned, the little nylon storage bag that it comes in is tiny. Be prepared to spend some time rolling this poncho up TIGHTLY to squeeze it back into the bag. Don’t think you’ll be able to fold it up by following the original creaselines either. It’s impossible. Folding a fitted sheet is easier than re-folding this poncho so don’t even try. Just do your best to fold it into a large rectangle and then roll it super tight to get it back in the bag. You will go mad otherwise. Lastly, the snaps are super secure, which is good, but when unbuttoning, requires some care. I believe if you yank on the snaps to unbutton, you will rip the fabric. The fabric is strong but not that strong.All-in-all, I’m EXTREMEY pleased with the features of this poncho. Now I haven’t actually tested it in the rain yet, and who knows when that will be. But compared to my cheap disposable rain ponchos, this one’s a rolls royce. If Tony Stark designed a rain poncho, I imagine it would be very similar to this one.

Kept me dry all day and dried quickly overnight
Kept me dry and comfortable. How does that song go? It never rains in Southern California… well it did while I was there. They called it an atmospheric river. Spent the day in Disneyland with this poncho. Due to arthritis and other issues I use a scooter in Disneyland. The size of this poncho was perfect for keeping my butt dry when sitting down on a wet seat and its length kept my legs dry the entire day. The only thing I had to do was make sure the poncho was in the right position before sitting down and then adjusting the front to cover my legs. The hook and loop fasteners at the wrists were perfect to keep my arms dry as I was driving the scooter. The drawstring in the hood was a great addition. I was able to cinch it perfectly which allowed me to turn my head, look up and all around and the hood stayed in place. The only problem I had was a broken zipper pull when I unpacked the poncho. I hadn’t planned on using the zippers but it was a disappointment to have it broken from the package. The weight of the poncho was perfect. Light enough to be comfortable and heavy enough that it didn’t flap around in a light breeze. When I returned to my room that night I hung the poncho on a hanger over the bathtub. In the morning it was dry and easy to fold up and put back into its stuff sack.

AMAZING Poncho!!!
I bought this poncho for a camping trip knowing we were going to get blasted with a ton of rain. Did this do the job? YES! It was PERFECT. It kept me dry, the bottons on the side prevented it from blowing to the side, and the hood can cinch to keep your head dry as well. Absolutely AWESOME. We were POURED on and this worked amazingly! Not too heavy, but not too light either. Comfortable, and it’s big – but it’s a poncho… it’s supposed to be. 🙂

Super happy with it. Will buy another in the future!
Saved me while I was camping for a concert. Kept me dry and actually seemed to insulate body heat. It’s baggy which helped cause I covered my lawn chair with it as well.

Es muy práctico. Protege bastante bien. ocupa muy poco espacio y apenas pesa por lo que es muy recomendable llevarlo contigo cuando el tiempo amenace lluvia ya que … te sacará de un apuro y … llegarás seco al destino.

il est très facile à enfiler il recouvre bien tout, mon corps est le sac à dos, il faut savoir que moi je mesure 1 m 55, j’aime beaucoup les pressions qui sont au poignet et qui empêche l’eau de rentrer dans la lanche.
