Waterproof US Army Hooded Ripstop Festival Rain Poncho Military Camping Hiking

I wore this poncho on the Camino Frances across Spain and was pretty pleased with it.In fact I was very pleased with it, except that:1) The hole for the head was small a bit for me. My head is larger than average and it only just fitted through the head hole (but it did go through).2) The poppers holding the sides together were too weak and kept un-popping very easily if I moved my arms or the wind put what I thought was a very small amount of pressure on them. I fixed this by securing them with duck/duct tape which worked pretty well.3) I would have liked it to be a bit longer at the back, as other ponchos I saw were, but it seemed to keep my rucksack dry anyway. But overall I was very happy with it.Sometimes I experienced condensation inside the poncho, other times not. I think this is to be expected with any poncho.The material was heavier duty than other ponchos I saw and I was glad of that. (The poncho weighs about a kilogram.)Generally when I saw the ponchos other people were wearing I thought mine was better (more water- and wind-proof.The only exception was the occasional ponchos that were longer at the back (designed to fit over a rucksack). But as I already said, my pack stayed dry despite that.If I went again I would take the same poncho. (unlike my over-trousers which were rubbish...)

I work outside all year round and have gone through 100s of rainproof gear. I brought this as a trial and I love it!!! Even the heaviest rain cant get through. Will by another as soon as this one get to old. Feels very cosy and you can easily access your pockets inside. Absolutely love it . It works for me and I'm out in all wet conditions .

It's a very water proof item, but a little hard to tie up with all sorts of strings and stuff hanging around looking like a horror movie.The head hole cannot be made bigger and is one size, so my giant fat head just about fits and gets VERY wet during the rain but the rest of me is dry, so when you tie this up, it does help against the rain and wind so you look like a homeless bin bag let free into the streets dressed as a human, so happy days.

it has a serious design flaw a series of patches stitched across the front which let in water quite badly.It worked well (other than the above) Initiallyit's just come back from it's third festival - where it failed - not totally but badly enough that with an equally useless berghaus "waterproof" jacket underneath that I gave up after about 5 hours serious rain and missed the last act

The hood is a tight fit and only has a draw string which is consequently useless. It would have been better with a Velcro flap to adjust the fit with. Also the are needle holes all around the seam where the hood is stitched on which let the rain in. Very poor quality. I wouldn't recommend buying this.

Significant design flaw. Used this at a rainy Glastonbury and on the first use got soaked through. On the front inside there is some webbing stitched into the poncho (I think it's part of the "tarp" functionality), but the stitched portion is not sealed so water was wicked in at enough of a rate that my top underneath was literally dripping wet. That night I put masking tape over this part on the inside and I was dry after that.

Pretty big, and can cover me and my bag nicely, but then again I'm 5"3It was a bit heavier than I expected, but that isn't much of a problem.But there's a bunch of strings dangling from it which is useful, but the fact they dangle means they just get wet really easily.

Absolutely brilliant. I bought this for my dad who uses a mobility scooter and it fits right over it to keep him dry. He has bought other capes but he has said this is the best👍 It is lovely material and really well made. Worth the money, Excellent quality 😁
