FROGG TOGGS Ultra-lite2 Waterproof, Breathable Rain Poncho, Adult and Youth Sizes

This poncho got me through a tropical storm at a music festival--comfortably. It's softer than your typical gas station poncho, which makes it less unwieldy. I also like that it has a lot of buttons, making it easy to open it or close it as needed. We all know how hot these things can be, but this one allows you to open it up to ventilation when it's not pouring down rain while still staying dry.

I'm a 6'2"/280 lbs weight lifter so I was nervous about this fitting my unusual body size. It fit perfectly, is comfortable, and was easy to put back into the storage pouch afterwards. I hate wearing the disposable ponchos due to the sauna effect where I get so hot that I sweat profusely leaving me wonder why didn't just get rained on instead (because the rain doesn't smell like a gym sock). This well made poncho is breathable so I didn't overheat. It's worth paying extra.

I have mixed feelings about this poncho. There's pros and cons, and it truly depends on who is purchasing this poncho and what for! I purchased this poncho for our Disney Trip. I have heard great things about Frogg Toggs, including the long life and great coverage, so I figured this purchase would be perfect for all the Disney Trips we take throughout the years! And if I liked it, then I would purchase another for my husband.I received it 2 days before our trip. Thankful I opened it because the smell of a burnt forest is not what I'd be able to walk around smelling like throughout my trip. The smell was HORRIFIC! Not sure why or how it gets this smell, but it is definitely not even close to being wearable unless it is washed first. When I opened it up completely, there was a tear in the front of it. It was small, but it was mixing that whole waterproofed layer of material, and no doubt if we were in heavy rain, it would go through. I contacted the company immediately, and they sent out a new one overnight!!! VERY PLEASED with the Customer Service! With that being said, I did have to wait till it arrived in order to wash it because of the smell. But it arrived, I put it in a laundry bag for protection, added it with a few other items and washed it on gentle cycle. It came out great, stink free, put it in the dryer for 2 minutes to get the excess water off before I hung it to dry, and it was dry to take on my trip the next morning.Now.. onto the size and coverage. This thing is HUGE! I am 5' 3, and although I wish I can say I was super skinny, I can't :-(. But... I'm not really big either. I wore maybe a size 8 at that time. Comes down really low. Hey.. Can't complain about the coverage now, right? It's not to the point of it tripping me, but it is extremely long! Not a biggy.. It's light weight, does not feel bulky and heavy, and I'll get great coverage obviously. I also wanted this one because of the hood. I can tighten it so it doesn't fly off when it's really windy. But the hood ended up being a problem. It was SO BIG, that it not only covered my whole head, but my entire face too!!! Not even an exaggeration! I tried to stop it at my forehead and tighten the toggle to keep it from going over my face, but it didn't work. So it is very hard to walk around the parks in this, as I can't see where I'm going! I wore it on splash mountain, and we had the best laugh at the action shot of the log flume going down. Who is that faceless person?!?!? All you saw next to my little 5 year old, was a giant blue cape! It really was funny!So... I gave it 4 because it does have great coverage and the durability is obvious. Will last for many years to come. But, it has been passed over to my husband because the hood is just way too big. For him as well, But he can deal with it better. And as far as the smell is concerned.. easy fix by washing it gently in a netted garment/washer bag if you don't have front loads, to prevent it from getting torn in the wash. Just make sure you order it to arrive several days before you will need it and you'll be fine.Overall... This poncho is of great quality and will have a very long life if you take care of it and store it properly. Perfect for a man or tall woman. And the hood? Not too horrific if you're not as picky as me or have an issue if it flies off your head.

Fun bright pink color Seems pretty durable Lightweight Better than cheap $3 fakes! Good for price, comfortable

Typical froggtogg gear. Light weight, simple. Does the job. Goes over backpack. Good value to take on the trail.

This poncho was recommended to me and I love it. The poncho was large enough to go over my backpack. It kept not only me dry but my backpack and everything I was carrying dry too. It wasn't to expensive, I bought 2. I can't rate how long the poncho will keep one dry, but it kept me dry long enough to seek shelter.

Not 100% a product fault...First thing first: this is not a slip-over hoodie style poncho. It's got plastic snaps along both sides and they're not super secure.That being said, I was on a three day motorcycle ride on 9/11/24. My buddy and I were on day two when we got caught in an Oregon coast fall storm. The forecast had called for the possibility of showers so I had this poncho with me, just in case. We called our trip early and started heading home. Due to the heavy rain, I was wearing my poncho. At one point, I passed a dump truck heading the opposite direction. The blast of wind from the truck caused the snaps on the poncho to open and then blew the hem up so that it completely covered my visor, rendering me effectively blind. Before I was able to stop safely, I drifted into the oncoming lane of traffic and was struck by a pickup that was unable to avoid me.I'm lucky to be alive, but my bike was totalled and my right tibia and knee were broken, requiring major surgery and a lengthy recovery (8 months and counting.)The failure of those snaps isn't really a fault of the poncho, more a limitation. It's Frogg Togg so quality is excellent, but the light weight plastic snaps failed pretty easily, with disastrous results (for me.) If it's used for light activity, I'm sure that it will serve your needs, but don't try to wear it while doing anything too strenuous. Those weak plastic snaps are whet prevent me from rating it higher than three stars.

Wore this at Disney in Florida. It was lightweight, kept the rain off and did not stick to my skin. It also dried quickly after the rain so I could put it back into the carry bag.
