Extra Thick Hooded Rain Poncho Double Layer Waterproof Raincoat Jacket for Men Women Adults

Bought several colors and used these in a theme park in Florida for 4 days. They were fabulous. They were more like a ripstop fabric than the typical plastic ones you buy. As a result, they didn’t stick to your body, they didn’t rip, they didn’t make you sweat, and they were easily reusable day after day. One small thing I loved most about them is that they were super easy to fold back into their little pouches, making them so convenient to tuck in a backpack. They dried quickly each night and were ready to go the next morning. The hood had a little brim to keep the rain out, and a drawstring at the neck. Would absolutely recommend. Even my husband commented on how much he liked them which is not something he would normally do!

Absolutely loved having these for our Alaska excursions from the cruise ship! Nice, lightweight, easily packable. These ponchos came in handy when the drizzle and rain started up - easy to put on over our backpacks. Kept us nice and dry! Also, highly breathable vs the disposable plastic ones. Ours held up to the windy conditions too! Dried quickly as well. Note, hood works much better if you have a baseball cap or visor with hard lip to keep the hood up and out of your eyes. Otherwise, you could fold the hood opening up but will still slip down a bit if you don't have a cap lip.

Excellent Item

It's the perfect size for travel and packs away nicely into its bag. It also seems to do a great job of being waterproof, though I haven't had the chance to test it fully just yet. One unexpected thing I noticed is that it has a pretty strong plastic smell, which caught me off guard. It ended up giving me a bit of a headache and made my whole living room and kitchen smell! I do have a larger-than-average head and quite a bit of hair, and while it does fit, it's a tad snug. I might consider making a slit to make it more comfortable, especially during hot and humid rain.

We purchased this poncho for backpacking and camping. While we find its rain repellency and size to be good and reliable, in general, there are a few minor manufacturing quirks others might find useful prior to purchase. First, if you're an adult under 6ft tall and up to 250lbs, this will provide adequate coverage. It's not going to keep your shins or boots dry in a driving rain (that's what waterproof boots are for!), but if you button up the snaps along the sides (3 snaps per side), you should keep nice and dry. Unless, of course, you've got a big head or wear a ballcap. We found the head opening to be a little too snug to don the poncho while wearing a ball cap and glasses; though, once through, the hood provides ample coverage and the built-in visor helps keep the wet off the ball cap's brim. The side snaps are decently spaced apart, but their placement at the edge of the material makes us wary of pulling them open too fast. The chest pocket is sizeable and, to give you an idea, you could fit a couple decks of cards inside –maybe a phone, too. The material is light and that's great, except if the wind is really blowing; then, the material blows around a lot (even while snapped) and that presents some opportunities for an intruding drop or three. The forest camo poncho we purchased would probably work for hunting, too, though the rustling of the material (not as bad as plastic) could give up the game –along with the large white logo printed on the lower right corner. All told, it's a good poncho for the price. A slightly larger head opening, a slightly larger hood with drawstrings, a brim band, reinforced seams for the snaps, maybe an additional 4 inches of material for the arms and legs would be good; a drawstring at the waist and mid-thigh would all make this poncho perfect. Don't let this review dissuade you from getting this poncho, especially if you get it for the rare occasion you're caught off guard and need something, like your vehicle's emergency bag. Happy poncho-ing!

Purchased this for my husband to wear New Years Eve when it was pouring rain and he volunteered to help secure a location overnight for the Rose Parade viewing. He said it was comfortable and kept him dry the entire time.

I needed a heavier raincoat and the extra thick hooded poncho sounded good. It’s thin as any other poncho IMHO. Nice colorful design. But a design is not going to keep me warm.

I thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail for 7 months in 2022, from March through September. I began the AT with Frog Toggs, which I quickly learned were trash after just one day of use on the trail! I found several different types of rain gear in hiker boxes and made use of those until I could find what I wanted. This poncho was recommended to me and I gave it a try. Best decision I could've made! Let's face it, no rain gear in the world will keep you completely dry 100% of the time. There are pros and cons to all gear. Your shoes and socks will always be soaked in rain, and it's just something hikers live with. It doesn't even bother me. That being said, this poncho was large enough to fit over me, my pack, and it hung down just past my knees in the front. This is perfect for hiking up and down mountains, through thick brush, fording rivers, it's great in the heat and the cold. The hood has a small visor that keeps rain from dripping into your eyes as well. It never once ripped or developed any holes at all. It has a pocket in the chest area to keep your phone or whatever you need. It is quick and easy to deploy in a sudden shower, and dries extremely fast. It also works as a temporary personal shelter in really hard rain. you can sit on a ,log or rock, place your pack between your legs, bow your head down, and pull the poncho down around you to your feet (I did this many times!). And for the price, you can't beat it! I will be hiking the Colorado Trail beginning in June of 2023 and this poncho is going with me! 10/10 would recommend to a friend!!!
