PTEROMY Lightweight Raincoat Camping Fishing Reviews Summary

Quality and Material

Pros:

• "It's better quality than I thought it would be. And it didn't instantly rip when I took it out of the package."
• "The polyester fabric is very strong, yet light weight."
• "It's actual nylon fabric, with a NICE heavy waterproof coating inside."
• "This poncho is very well made - the seams are sealed over, the hood has a good drawstring (with cord locks), there are snaps down the sides, and the corners have grommets."
• "The material is very soft and not thin making it flexible to fold."
• "The fabric and stitching are strong and proven to be tear resistant."
• "It's light weight, seems pretty strong and durable, and also it is compact in its included carrying bag."

Cons:

• "I wish that the quality was just a little bit better. By quality I mean a bit thicker so that it doesn't rip when I throw it over my gear at work."
• "The material is not very durable. I set up a temporary tarp shelter with the poncho. I did not pull it exceedingly tight, but I still got a tear near one of the grommets."
• "The quality is nothing like the image shows; there is no front pocket and the material is cheap."
• "This poncho feels like it is made of cheaper material."
• "Material is fairly cheap but waterproof, and will definitely hold up for a little bit of use. If you plan to use it often though, I would look elsewhere."
• "The material is very thin."
• "And it seems like it would tear very easily."

Design and Features

Pros:

• "This rain poncho is deluxe! It comes with a nice drawstring storage pouch that makes it idea for backpacking, off-reading, etc. because it’s compact and keeps the poncho contained."
• "The baseball type extension on the hood is a nice feature, as is the large outer chest pocket."
• "For shorter people, it gives almost full coverage, but it’s long enough to be good for taller people too."
• "The buttons on the side keep it from blowing rain in, and the little bill of the hood keeps my face dry while still being able to see."
• "This poncho is a blanket and a tent!"
• "The poncho/ raincoat is light and covered me well and still able to roll my Rollator."
• "Love this easily packable rain poncho it even had an extended piece on the top to put over your hat or Baseball cap to keep your hat dry and your face dry."

Cons:

• "After less than a week of use the hood developed quite a severe leak."
• "The 'tent mode' is definitely for a smaller guy."
• "I’m a pretty big guy (6’1” 250lbs) and I bought this because other large men said it would fit, which it did, except the sleeves are a bit short for people with longer arms, so like 1/3 of my shirt sleeves got soaked."
• "While wearing the item in the storm, it stuck to my skin and felt very moist inside."
• "It was billowy and a little cumbersome, in that it would get in the way as I was moving about the campsite."
• "I am very disappointed that the visor does not stand up and maintain its shape the way it is pictured to do."
• "I was really looking forward to having a poncho that would keep the rain off my glasses and out of my eyes. I usually have to wear a duckbill cap under the hood of rain capes to keep my face dry. I hoped this would do it but it has no stiffening material in the visor."

Functionality and Usability

Pros:

• "Kept me dry during my half mile walk home."
• "Just right for my bug out bag. Large enough to cover your backpack when wearing it."
• "It's light-weight yet durable and waterproof."
• "Perfect for stashing in a pack or glove box for those times you get caught off guard by the weather."
• "This is a one size fits all. It comes in its compact carrying bag."
• "Does not leak at all."
• "It keeps me dry and isn't too thin like those ones that you can get from any dollar store, this is the real deal."

Cons:

• "The snaps and Velcro are a bit flimsy so May break with a lot of use."
• "So far, not impressed."
• "At first I thought it was pretty cool. It looked and felt like it would get the job done. WRONG. First use with lite rain, water was seeping through."
• "Not for bushwacking, trail or running as fabric could easily tear."
• "With my backpack it might hover more around my thighs, so that is something to consider if you're taller dude."
• "Unfortunately, it didn't cover my backpack adequately, and tended to blow open during the hike."
• "The wind easily blows the 'buttons' open and will leave you without any kind of cover from the rain if windy."

Storage and Portability

Pros:

• "This poncho is very well made - the seams are sealed over, the hood has a good drawstring (with cord locks), there are snaps down the sides, and the corners have grommets."
• "It's very easy to fold/roll up and get back into its carrying sack."
• "The storage sack it comes with is a nice touch."
• "Very convenient to fold and store inside bag that was included for traveling."
• "I keep it folded up in its small pouch in my car, so it’s there when I need it."
• "It comes in a nice small carrying case that has a drawstring to close it securely."
• "The little bag that it comes with is a nice added bonus, and it's not hard to fold/roll it up and stuff it back in."

Cons:

• "Upon opening, this rain poncho comes rolled up into a nice carry case, which I am sure I will never be able to get back in the same way."
• "For me it was challenging to fold the garment back up and put it in the little sack."
• "But honestly I would not pay full price for this."
• "Trying to zip it up, it jammed 3 times."
• "While the bag ripped a little when I tried to stuff the poncho back in, the poncho itself is very nice and seems durable enough for my needs."
• "I had to re-melt the ends of the cord on pouch as well. They came frayed."

Cons:

• "The 'tent mode' is definitely for a smaller guy."
