Foxelli Rain Poncho for Adults – Extra Long Reusable Waterproof Raincoat with Hood, Lightweight for Hiking, Camping, Outdoors

DISCLAIMER - I have not yet field tested this poncho in wet conditions as of writing this review on Sept. 15, 2020. This is a first impressions review of the product. OVERALL: Satisfied with my purchase and would personally recommend this brand/product to friends and family. PROS -Poncho folds up and fits compactly in a 6 x 10.75 inch pouch. -Fabric feels durable and sewn together well. -4 metal grommets located at the bottom corners and 2 grommets for the dawstring around the neck. -5 strips of velcro contact to reduce leakage. -Stylish pattern CONS -Visor on the hood obstructs visibility and is quite floppy -Slightly heavier when compared to similar ponchos if you are into ultra-lite backpacking -Can become a tripping hazard if you are a shorter individual DETAILS: Packaging - Came neatly folded inside a durable and reusable carrying pouch w/ drawstring. The pouch is approximately 6x10.75 inches. Durability - The poncho itself feels fairly durable and is stitched together very well. I was very impressed by the stitching around the velcro where it would need to sustain a lot of tugging and pulling. Keep in mind that I have not yet field tested this poncho in the rain. Design - I like how there is a metal grommet at the bottom four corners to convert the poncho into a temporary shelter if you should choose to. There is also a small triangular pocket at the grommet areas to insert tent poles if needed to, however, I don't believe that they added the pocket for that reason. There are 5 strips of velcro contact to prevent water from entering (2 strips located on the left edges, 2 strips on the right edges, 1 strip around the neck area). Velcro on the sides are located right below where your arms extend out and also at the knee area (I stand 5 feet 6 inches tall). The drawstring for the head area is also protected by metal grommets to prevent tearing or ripping from over-using the drawstring. There is a visor to reduce rain from splashing into your eyes, however, the visor is very floppy and significantly reduces visibility. (I would recommend folding back and taping down the visor for better visibility.) Size - The poncho has a vertical length of 48 inches and a horizontal width of approximately 55 inches (when laid flat). As an individual standing at 5 feet 6 inches tall, the poncho came halfway down to my shin/ankle area when worn (might be shorter if poncho is worn over backpack). This can become a trip hazard if you are a short person. The poncho also came up to my wrists when I extended my arms parallel to the ground (I have a wingspan of 69.5 inches from fingertip to fingertip). Weight Comparison - The Foxelli poncho (11 ounces) is slightly heavier than other comparable ponchos like the Frogg Toggs Ultra-Lite2 Poncho (9 ounces).

I was hiking in Tennessee last year and an unexpected rain storm rolled in. I had a $5 poncho and although me and my hiking bag were dry...my hat and face were drenched. I couldnt take it off for shelter because it wasnt big enough. It was too much rain and not enough poncho. I am going hiking again and needed something that would solve my problem. This seems to be it. I know I will be able to use it with hiking poles (I prefer to hike with my arms and poles inside the poncho.) But the arm holes with velcro closure - amazing! The quality is exceptional and I can already tell that it will be keep me dry in some serious rain. The hood is great with a velcro opening at the neck so you can put your poncho on while wearing a hat (I tested it). The beak at the top of the hood is long but no longer than a baseball cap. It will def keep my hat dry and water off of my face. Speaking of water on the face, the drawstring on this poncho is going to be very useful. I can tell that it will keep the water out since it cinches tightly if you want. It can be argued that it's "big" as in too much fabric but based on my past experience, this seems to be a necessity. I am 5'6 and it fits well. The material doesn't make noise when you walk either. My only con would be that I wish the blue I ordered was more subtle but in an emergency...bright blue might be a good thing. Buy the poncho already. It's worth it. Lastly, the bag it comes with is perfect for keeping the poncho under control in your bag. Of course I wasnt able to put it back in that bag how it was sent but I got darn close.

Purchased this poncho for a football game and was not disappointed. The grommets kept it from blowing around, the length was great, kept my pants dry and covered the back of my stadium seat. Wore it for over 4 hours and it held up great. The reason I did not give 5 stars is that the zipper was not long enough to open to get over my hat and glasses. A little inconvenient to remove outside in the rain to put poncho on.

UPDATE: Used it for the first time in light rain and heavy wind for maybe 1.5 hours, hiking on relatively flat ground, no backpack. Held up really well, the long length definitely was an advantage over the Linenlux poncho. By the end my lower pant legs and lower jacket sleeves were soaked where the poncho couldn't reach, but the rest of my body was dry. The drawstring around the hood was really important in the heavy wind, and the visor helped keep some rain off my glasses. Very happy with my purchase overall. Only drawback was that the poncho can be quite large and billowy, and hard to find the sleeve holes to put my hands in my pockets (it was a bit cold), especially in wind. But the poncho is designed to also be usable as a tarp, so I can't really complain about the size. I haven't used it yet but I'll try to remember to update when I do. I also bought the beige colored Linenlux poncho (~700 review one). This one seems to be made of stronger fabric in my limited experience. The built-in visor will probably be pretty useful, especially as a glasses-wearer. From my brief lookover, the visor seems to be made of something like cardboard that isn't too easy to reshape - I think it would benefit greatly from a better material. It doesn't have a pocket like the Linenlux, but that's not important to me as I probably won't be taking anything out in pouring rain. It also drapes lower than the Linenlux which is great, especially with a backpack on. And it was more affordable as well.

Great Quality

nul nul nul vraiment pas pratique

A really good lightweight poncho for taller people. Used in a festival and it kept me dry whether standing or sitting, so top marks for waterproofing. At 6’1” the poncho comes to just below my knees so my legs don’t get too soaked. Also plenty of room to tuck your arms inside, even if you’re a 20 stone lump like me. Seems well made too, but the material is quite light, so don’t expect it to resist tree branches and thorns like something heavier. Surprisingly easy to get back in its stuff sack too as these kind of things are often way too tight. The hood is large and can fit over a baseball cap or beanie no problem. It might even fit over a bicycle helmet but I’ve not tried that.

Poncho ist leider nicht wasserdicht. Auch sind die Seiten offen und werden nur mit drei kurzen Klettverschlüssen zusammengehalten. Für jeglichen Einsatz komplett ungeeignet.

身長165cm、痩せ型、裾は足首あたり。薄いが防雨はしっかり、買いです。

Used a few times. Worked pretty well.
