Arcturus Lightweight Ripstop Nylon Poncho with Adjustable Hood

it appears to be a light weight, lightly ripstop, large poncho. It comes down to about 4 in above the ground on my 6ft +1.5in shoes body.The waterproofing is a heat (?) applied thin plastic sheet which appears to be fairly professionally applied, but with a few (flat) circles 3-4 mm diam where it is unbonded. The hood and neck are roomy and therefore permits a head warmer like a thick hoody, but there is no significant visor.Very Bad:This is NOT a backpacker's poncho. The designers obviously screwed up in locating the hood equidistant to the front and back edges.This is really sad, because, the length would definitely permit a generous extra lenght in the rear for a back pack, and when no back pack is worn, the extra length could be tied/snapped up to equal the front length. Perhaps mine is just a sewing error and these being offered are actually quality rejects?To add insult to injury, although it is hard to really compare the quality of this product with similarly described Campmore products, they are about half price, BUT you have to have a big order to get free shipping.By the way, as a very small complaint, yes it comes tightly rolled in a cute little drawstring bag, but I judge it to be unlikely to fit there again.I will be returning this item, because I commonly wear a back pack; (Update: vendor quickly assisted in refund.).I will say that this is NOT BAD for a 6 foot person WITHOUT a back pack.

Im gonna use this poncho next week for camping. Luckily it rained hard today. So i tried this poncho and washed my car. It is very light, water resistant, dry on the inside! 5 star on this one!👍🏻

Read reviews and this poncho met and exceeded expectations. I needed a light but good poncho for archery hunting in the monsoons in northern arizona. This poncho is not very loud, very pliable, held up great in heavy rain with no leaks through the fabric, very light to carry for the just in case storm. What I like best is the size. I am 5'10", 170lbs, and during down poor poncho covered me with a small to med size day pack on my back, and bow at side while reaching down to ankles. Legs stayed dry. When I sat, everything including feet were covered. Bow stayed dry. The best coverage I have ever had in a poncho. Not too big either. Just right. As far as the reviews concerning only three buttons per side this is typical of any ponch and no more or less an issue with this one. If you have an issue just use sticky velcro as liberal as you want to close up the caps. I did, and worked great in wind and rain. Although the material is lightweight it is sturdy due to ripstop nylon and double coat of poly. Buy it. You won't regret it. Camo pattern also was surprisingly very good. My buddy said it blended in well. Probably going to buy another for back up as usually when i find something this good at a great price they sell out and become not available.

I am 5 10. This black poncho reaches my ankles.What can I say. It is nice and big. No more wet legs. Tips of your shoes might get wet if you are walking. I can sit in the rain and not be concerned about getting my legs wet. In fact it is so big, that for someone of my height, I can put it over my backpack. This poncho is seam taped. However the poncho I received had an imperfection in sealing where the two halves of the hood meets the rest of the poncho. I fixed the problem with a bit of "Gear AID" clear repair tape.The poncho has 3 push button on each side to close down the poncho.(6 in total). However under windy conditions those gaps between buttons let in too much wind (and with it water). Arcturus if you are listening, use 4 buttons or better yet 5! The product will be so much better. I am tempted to find a snap button fastener to add those missing button. When I was caught in the rain, the poncho was big enough that I folded the end over themselves with my arms to keep the water out.Hood.is pretty basic and thus mostly formless fabric. You will need a baseball hat to give it some form else in heavy rain water will get into your face. Addition of something to stiffen the top rim of the hood will go a long way.The interior side of the poncho feels rubbery. I don't like that feeling on my skin. My guess is that layer is for water proofing. It would be better if there was a liner, even a very very thin one.. something smooth. Think the liner of the Charles River Apparel Pacific Poncho.Yet, when everything is said, this poncho did keep me dry. It is big. Your legs will be dry.. You can sit down in the rain. But it could be better. There are error in the manufacture. Hood design could be better. More buttons would help close the side. A interior lining would have been great.

I finally got to use this at a Cubs game on 05/19/17. Look it up - it was in the low 40's, wind howling in, and raining in sheets. My wife, 3 kids and I were not dressed for this type of weather, but, my a miracle I had the Arcturus Poncho in my bag. It covered the three kids and the wife, with my son sitting on my wife's lap. It kept them dry, and warm enough to last through the end of the 5th inning when a rain delay was called. This poncho is totally huge, waterproof, windproof, and tough enough to withstand four people tugging on it for coverage without any damage, and it all stores in a pouch that is about 4"x7", and light enough to carry in a fanny pack. It was glorious to be able to whip it out right when everyone was freaking out about the weather and ready to leave.

Long poncho (for me it nearly touches the ground, for my very tall husband it goes below the knees). Tested under the tap it seems waterproof : the true test will come this summer, going fishing. The snaps on the side were the important part : on a boat, a poncho without is going to flap about like mad and be worthless. I could wish the "sleeves" were longer (on a male the arms below the elbows will not be protected), but it should still do the trick.

Great product. Waterproof and have already come in handy as a mat at the park when a bunch of us needed to lie down while watching a band and movie. And while backpacking when I needed a mat for quick rest and to work in the rain. I made tent stakes by carving from available wood and pushed them thru grommets. Only wish it had more grommets for tie outs.

Super lightweight and rainproof. A simple solution to rain protection for hunting, fishing or outdoor activities. I throw it in my pack and it's there when I need it.

too loud for hunting

Shipped fast and appears to be good quality. Lightweight and comes with stuff sack for storage. I am 6' and 250lb and this fits with room to spare. Will be perfect for back up rain gear and/or emergency shelter (has grommets for tie-outs).

packs away very nicely.

Great for fishing hiking and hunting when those storms show up from no - where.

It fits perfect love it
