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

I recently picked up the Anyoo Rain Poncho and couldn’t be happier with the purchase. It offers great value for the price. Lightweight yet durable, making it perfect for hikes, outdoor events, or just keeping in your backpack for emergencies.The fit is generous without being bulky, and it’s easy to put on and take off. I especially appreciate how compact it is when folded up — it barely takes up any space in my backpack. Whether you’re commuting, camping, or just preparing for unpredictable weather, this poncho is a smart addition to your gear. Highly recommend!

On a recent backpacking trip I experienced solid rain (not torrential downpour) that lasted a good 6 hours. I kept expecting my poncho to reach a saturation point and wet through, but it never did. It also covered my backpack well. By the time the rain let up my bodily core and backpack both remained dry. I like that a poncho allows a good airflow as when I wear a rain jacket I sweat so much that I end up getting soaked in the inside too. Not so much with a poncho. I also like the length of this poncho as any runoff that occurs happens below my knees. This works well for my Midwest backpacking setup and it's a crucial piece of my gear. If I were in alpine conditions above tree level or areas prone to gusty winds I would use a jacket, but for my purposes I'm glad I found this product. It seems very durable for its price. I had to do a bit of bushwhacking to get around a fallen tree and got caught on some thorns. I thought for sure I would find tears in the poncho but upon inspection, not a scratch. Very pleased!

Used it for a 3 day backpack trip in the alpine regions of New Zealand in November. It was waterproof, lightweight enough for air travel but not too flimsy--held up to backpack weight and donning/doffing without tearing; buttons helpful to prevent too much ballooning; large enough to cover 65L backpack but not too big for 5'3" person; attractive aqua color. Main downside is hood is quite large even over a warm beanie, but neck drawstring helpful to cinch to keep it loosely on.WEARING TIP from NZ Park Ranger: wear backpack OVER poncho to prevent it from catching wind (and destabilizing balance, hindering vision). Though it was harder to get food out of pockets (too wet/windy to stop in alpine Spring) it def kept me dry and comfortable. Glad I had/wore it!

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.

It was light and did its job. Really loved that it had snaps so you can snap the sides and the sleeves and sides which kept it in place even when the wind was blowing. Pocket in the front was a plus kept my phone dry and readily available when needed.
