Worked in torrential(google it) rain
Worked well, folded well, fit well, did the job perfectly. Fit in my backpack and forgot I had it until it started to raind like there was no tomorrow. When I put this on and strolled back to the hotel where everyone was sheltering under the building structure, everyone exclaimed how impress they were that i had this. I could carry my pack, and carry on luggage no problem, both hands free. Messed up my hair a little because of the hood but much better than an umbrella which would have folded in torrential rain.Have not used as a camping tent yet, but feels durable enough.10 out of 10 in my book. Also liked that this had a logo, when the competition doesn't advertise itself.

covers the backpack - ideal for hiking in the rain
My husband and I took these on a long distance hiking trip and found them very useful in the occasional downpour. They are long enough to protect not just your backpack, but the majority of your pants (depending on your height) from getting wet. The package is not insignificant in size, so it will take up room in your pack, but if you are going somewhere where you expect rain, I think it is worth bringing.

Perfect for light rain and drizzle
We used these Panchos for the Portuguese Coastal Camino in May. Some rain almost every day and they were perfect for that trip. On some of the heavier days, I wish I would have picked up some gators for my shoes and legs. Also, We ended up marking a white line on the inside so when you were throwing it on you could easily align front and where your head went without looking hard.Great product, held up after several on/off/on/off and shove in the backpack.

Love the visor and the sleeves
I had the oppotunity to test mine out the day after I received it, needing to drive a golf cart in wind driven pour rain for two hours. The size was generous enough to cover my legs and enough of the seat so I remained dry. Being able to velcro sleeves into it made it cover my arms well and the visor is a huge bonus if you wear glasses.Baased on my first use I am giving it a 5.

Worked great!
Took this up to Alaska for hiking in the spring. It kept me dry while I wore boots, jeans, and a couple layers up top for wicking and warmth. Everyone else who wore waterproof/resistant jackets were soaked. The only thing I added were thick washer zip-tied to each corner to prevent the gusts of wind from blowing it up. I recommend this to anyone hiking in the rain. It may not be the most attractive piece of gear, but it'll keep you dry and keep you warm.

It's Not Waterproof
Bought this poncho specifically for the Camino de Santiago-Frances. Lightweight, fits over my backpack - great. Not so much. It handles short drizzles and works great as a wind protector. But this morning I left Cee at 8:30 a.m.in torrential rain and strong winds. By the time I arrived in Finisterre I was totally drenched. It was not perspiration. The outside of my backpack was soaked, my fanny pack almost wring-able. It works fine for milder conditions but not for heavy duty.
