Women's Lightweight Rain Poncho with Pockets Blue

Fantastic poncho. It hangs well and definitely kept us dry.I can’t tell you how many poncho reviews I read, how many I researched before buying this. I bought this and another one. While the other had a bit more found on in color/style attempt, this one worked and hung on us much better.Ponchos are nice especially considering rain rarely just falls straight down. Umbrellas keep your head dry but your clothes (and bags and purses) get wet more often than not, and are especially helpful when having to do some walking in the rain (as we did).It’s good to have around in your car, emergency kits, etc.This (Green) works for any gender and is a good quality color and material (even for someone who isn’t particularly drawn to green normally). It folds up into a provided bag for convenience. It’s good for keeping the wet poncho contained so you can shove it into a purse or bag until you head back out in the rain. (Just be sure to open and dry it out at some point!)I plan to buy more to have on hand.Highly recommended.

Expected the color shown, but got a dark ugly green. I didn't return because it is a very nice light garment.

Blue is not blue, it is teal (see photo).Fits easily into a gallon ziplock bag, even after you take it out of the packaging. Which you should do before you travel because it takes a day to air out.Great for travel. Also great when I am wearing my backpack coming back from class, as it will cover that as well. Does not work as well if it is really windy. I wish it were a foot longer.

I didn't actually expect this to be large enough for me. I'm 5'10" and size XL. But it works fine. Sure , the sleeves are sort of 3/4 sleeves with outstretched arms, but when my arms are near my body, it's fine (and possible too much fabric for very petite women).Secondly, I didn't expect it to be especially well made, but it is. It's a two-way zipper and has nylon snaps, a self-fabric drawstring through the hood, pockets. No exposed seams; they're all enclosed. Extra rubberized seam-sealing tape at the neck and sides. The snaps are almost too sturdy for the lightweight fabric, so open them carefully.It is indeed lightweight, and packs into an included bag roughly 9x8 inches. It seems like what I think of as old-school windbreaker material and that it might not be very waterproof. But the fabric in practice is much better than I was expecting. I took it to the kitchen sink and let water run on it... the other side stayed dry. Despite this, I still suspect that it would not be incredibly effective in a prolonged downpour, but it would be surprisingly helpful.Stinks when you open it, but I forgive it. Let it air out for a bit and it's fine.Mine is close to a kelly green, not the dark teal shown. Which is a shame because I dearly love teal, but the kelly green is nice.Given the small packing size, for me this will be a helpful thing to leave in the car for unexpected rain. (I have an umbrella in the car as well, but sometimes that's not the right thing.)Much nicer than I'd expected.
