Anyoo Waterproof Poncho Lightweight Reusable Reviews Summary

Durability

Pros:

• "These are very durable."
• "The material seems durable and overall, this article of clothing made rain a non event."
• "It is made of the same rip-stop material tents are made from - very light and super tough."
• "The material is light but very durable."
• "This poncho is pretty much what I was issued to me during my time in the Marines. Very durable and keeps you dry."
• "Poncho well made and is quite durable."
• "This product is well made."

Cons:

• "I would have rated higher except the rough wear and tear they receive probably wont hold up long term."
• "Poncho literally fell apart after one backpacking trip in the rain."
• "The thin plastic head visor (I want to say cheap) was all crumpled up."
• "Unfortunately the item was broken upon arrival."
• "While hiking, it began to sprinkle and before the rain started I pulled out my new poncho and put it on over my pack, snapping the snaps to secure the flapping edges. When the rain stopped I reached back to unsnap the poncho and it ripped in two directions, rendering the poncho unusable."
• "I wore it one time for about 30mins and it kept catching on everything and when I went to unsnap it to take it off it ripped about 6 inches."
• "EXTREMELY THIN, don’t know about waterproof because the first time trying it on I noticed the closure snaps on the sides from front to back were misaligned by several inches."

Waterproof Quality

Pros:

• "This kept me completely dry through some very heavy rain and only took a few shakes to dry off before going back inside."
• "It’s also water proof, so my clothes never got wet."
• "It kept me COMPLETELY dry the whole 5 hours outdoors."
• "This poncho is actually torrential rain proof as proven on a very wet and windy dog walk!"
• "Keeps the wind and rain off you, even in heavy downpours there was no leakage I could detect."
• "The poncho not only kept me dry, but it was large enough to completely cover my 40 lb pack and keep everything dry."
• "Kept us warm & dry all day, even on outdoor rollercoaster rides."

Cons:

• "Not very breathable, It's not something you would want to wear very long because your body temp is going up."
• "The rancid smell that this thing put off was enough to make me gag... Reminds me of coming across a three day old fish corpse."
• "This is NOT waterproof! First time using it after about 10 minutes in the rain I noticed dark patches forming on the fabric, 5 minutes later I could feel water on my skin."
• "Bought 4 of these specifically because it said waterproof. Went to a football game and ALL of us got wet."
• "Used a couple of time under light rain, water leaks in and became wet all over, not waterproof!"
• "So I bought this item because I was going to a football game on a rainy day. Water did shed off it but the inside got wet too."
• "However, it's definitely not 'waterproof'."

Design and Comfort

Pros:

• "As an added bonus, it has the hi viz strips."
• "The poncho can also be used as a tent footprint or hung from a tree as a rainfly."
• "The poncho was large enough to cover my 60 liter pack while also keeping me dry."
• "Really liked this poncho for my husband who is 6’2”! He could wear it over a backpack and still be completely covered."
• "The hood actually works and keeps the rain off your face."
• "It's longer in the back than the front, so you can wear your backpack under it easily enough."
• "The hood is large and adjustable and the extra length in the back was most useful keeping the rain off."

Cons:

• "Hoody design is annoying and kinda blocks visions range."
• "Especially in windy weather it became very awkward to wear."
• "The brim thing is flimsy."
• "The hood has issues... I haven’t found a way to adjust things where the visor and hood stays out of my eyes with any kind of active head movement."
• "The hood, even when cinched, doesn’t stay on properly."
• "There is just too much excess material in the back of the head."
• "It's also shorter than expected."

• "This seems like a good poncho for the price."

Cons:
