Pros & Cons
Pros
Hiked the inca trail to machu picchu with frequent rain. They block wind well and help retain some heat if you are sitting around in a squall. This poncho is a game changer for wet back packing trips.
It is a little dorky at first glance, but trust me when i say it’s worth it. Works great over my backpack. Plus multiple colors, including my purchase of hunters orange.
It fits ok if you cinch down the face opening and adjust the hood. A brimmed cap or other headgear is recommended.
At the bottom of the poncho is a button to seal it between your legs to keep it from flapping. There's a loop and toggle under the storm flap to help hold this material up.
Cons
This thing actually weighs in at 12. It is also a pullover which is not convenient and will be quite warm. The material is not waterproof at all.

Shipping
Took them on and off over a period of 5 days hiking the inca trail to machu picchu with frequent rain
Unfortunately it arrived the same time as covid19
At the time i hadnt used it i am homeless but i have some badass waterproof gear my family up north sent me
Packaging/appearance
Our packs were large and the ponchos fit well with ample room to spare although we are all smaller framed folk
Unbelievably convenient to be able to pack poncho and backpack cover into one light piece
The bill keeps water from dripping in your face like cheap ponchos though you have to be careful no to crush it up when packing
This poncho does the job and has a zipper for pack access while wrapped up or on the go
Competitiveness
We also bought some outdoor products pack ponchos and not only are these cheaper but they perform better

That’s not a deal killer for me but if it were longer there might be lighter rains where i would only need that poncho
