SaphiRose Double Layer Rain Poncho, Waterproof Thick Hooded Raincoat 3-in-1

Bought several colors and used these in a theme park in Florida for 4 days. They were fabulous. They were more like a ripstop fabric than the typical plastic ones you buy. As a result, they didn’t stick to your body, they didn’t rip, they didn’t make you sweat, and they were easily reusable day after day. One small thing I loved most about them is that they were super easy to fold back into their little pouches, making them so convenient to tuck in a backpack. They dried quickly each night and were ready to go the next morning. The hood had a little brim to keep the rain out, and a drawstring at the neck. Would absolutely recommend. Even my husband commented on how much he liked them which is not something he would normally do!

Absolutely loved having these for our Alaska excursions from the cruise ship! Nice, lightweight, easily packable. These ponchos came in handy when the drizzle and rain started up - easy to put on over our backpacks. Kept us nice and dry! Also, highly breathable vs the disposable plastic ones. Ours held up to the windy conditions too! Dried quickly as well. Note, hood works much better if you have a baseball cap or visor with hard lip to keep the hood up and out of your eyes. Otherwise, you could fold the hood opening up but will still slip down a bit if you don't have a cap lip.

It's the perfect size for travel and packs away nicely into its bag. It also seems to do a great job of being waterproof, though I haven't had the chance to test it fully just yet. One unexpected thing I noticed is that it has a pretty strong plastic smell, which caught me off guard. It ended up giving me a bit of a headache and made my whole living room and kitchen smell! I do have a larger-than-average head and quite a bit of hair, and while it does fit, it's a tad snug. I might consider making a slit to make it more comfortable, especially during hot and humid rain.

Pros: For the price, it's a nice poncho. Lightweight, easy to store, and it works (i stay dry). I've only used it in light rain conditions, but with no issues. I like the draw-string pouch it comes with, easy to carry and to store. Cons: I had hopes for a larger size - across the shoulders it isn't as wide as I would have liked. I should add that I'm 6'1, 250lb. I bought the largest size they had, just wish it came larger. It's a light-weight nylon type material, not rubber. This should lead to it lasting longer, and being easier to roll up. If you are a small to medium sized person, this will work great for you. If you are larger, it will cover your trunk , but may leave your arms exposed.

We purchased this poncho for backpacking and camping. While we find its rain repellency and size to be good and reliable, in general, there are a few minor manufacturing quirks others might find useful prior to purchase. First, if you're an adult under 6ft tall and up to 250lbs, this will provide adequate coverage. It's not going to keep your shins or boots dry in a driving rain (that's what waterproof boots are for!), but if you button up the snaps along the sides (3 snaps per side), you should keep nice and dry. Unless, of course, you've got a big head or wear a ballcap. We found the head opening to be a little too snug to don the poncho while wearing a ball cap and glasses; though, once through, the hood provides ample coverage and the built-in visor helps keep the wet off the ball cap's brim. The side snaps are decently spaced apart, but their placement at the edge of the material makes us wary of pulling them open too fast. The chest pocket is sizeable and, to give you an idea, you could fit a couple decks of cards inside –maybe a phone, too. The material is light and that's great, except if the wind is really blowing; then, the material blows around a lot (even while snapped) and that presents some opportunities for an intruding drop or three. The forest camo poncho we purchased would probably work for hunting, too, though the rustling of the material (not as bad as plastic) could give up the game –along with the large white logo printed on the lower right corner. All told, it's a good poncho for the price. A slightly larger head opening, a slightly larger hood with drawstrings, a brim band, reinforced seams for the snaps, maybe an additional 4 inches of material for the arms and legs would be good; a drawstring at the waist and mid-thigh would all make this poncho perfect. Don't let this review dissuade you from getting this poncho, especially if you get it for the rare occasion you're caught off guard and need something, like your vehicle's emergency bag. Happy poncho-ing!

On an Elk hunt this past weekend got caught in a surprise rain/hailstorm. It came up behind us in the mountains. Rain gear was at base camp. Poncho was in my day pack and saved the day. Kept my rifle, gear and me mostly dry and free from the sting of the hail as I crouched in my stand. Even the small bag it comes in with the draw strings came in handy to put over the bore to keep water out of my barrel. I normally don't give reviews much, but I give this one a thumbs up! If you're gonna hunt, hike or fish it's wise to have something like this with you. It's not cumbersome, it's open on the sides, you still have use of your arms and hands to accomplish your tasks.

I just went walking out in a steady drizzle and wore this poncho for like 20 minutes. It seems to protect from the rain very well, except next time I'd wear a waterproof coat with long sleeves underneath because this poncho does not reach all the way down to your wrists. In a drizzle this is no problem, but in a heavy rain it is something to consider. I did not use my umbrella and kept the hood on the whole time I was walking. The only things was the brim was a little low over my face so I folded it back underneath on top and that solved the issue of being able to see where I was going. It was not a flap that was sturdy like a baseball hat brim. But it worked nonetheless and is worth adapting. My clothes did not get wet except for a little on my sleeves. This is waterproof as far as I can tell and kept me fairly warm wherever it was covering my body. Also very comfortable. Does not pull or tug while walking. Would be great for hiking or when traveling the world! To staying comfortable and dry and not being stopped by every whim of the weather! ~The Rebecca Review

This poncho works well, but it has reeked of fish since I first opened it. I've washed it several times, dried it out between uses, and always the fishy smell returns. I'm concerned the smell might permeate my clothes whenever I wear it.

Me gustó mucho este poncho. Compré dos. Individualmente funciona excelente como poncho para la lluvia, es impermeable, de buen material. Uno lo usa un niño de 12 años y le llega arriba de los tobillos, lo cual es útil. El otro para un adulto alto, al que le cubre hasta los muslos; queda bien en ambos casos: se adapta a diferentes alturas y complexiones. Lo mejor es que tienen orificios reforzados y botones que son útiles: en un viaje a una playa virgen, unimos ambos mediante estos orificios y los botones, para hacer un techo que sirviera como palapa. Lo logramos y el viento no le hizo ningún daño a los ponchos. También lo hemos usado unidos como "tapete" en el suelo de campamentos para sentarnos encima de ellos, con una cobija de por medio. Es decir, son multifacéticos. Y el precio es accesible!

Muy buen impermeable de gran calidad, resistente y ligero

A great little poncho for rain. It arrived today conveniently while it was pouring rain. I bought this for an upcoming backwoods solo trip and not be seen with the camouflage. I did use scotch guard rain and UV protect for no color fade with nylon materiel a few hours before trying out. The hood with the beak covers your face with a good hat on and drawstrings for extra removing of "slack" makes this worth while. I noticed there are grommets in all corners, this would make it great when I take a bike ride and need a cover, just tie to trees for a makeshift shelter( just a bit of para cord). The buttons are well in. So far so good, the rain is just pouring off and this SaphiRose is keeping me dry. I highly recommend this one. I'm going to purchase a few more soon.

As described, not tried it yet.

Producto de buena calidad y bastante amplio. Los colores y dimensiones apegados a la descripción. A una persona de 1.70 el impermeable le llega a media pantorrilla.
