Foxelli Rain Poncho for Adults - XL Coverage Waterproof Lightweight Hooded Poncho Raincoat for Hiking Camping & Travel

Recently I planned a girls weekend to visit a horse event in Kentucky (end of April). Weather down there at this time can run from snow to tropical but is mostly rainy. Living in the desert myself I don’t have need for rain gear. I selected this poncho because I was looking for something long enough to give my legs protection while I was carrying a large camera bag. This was the best money I spent on this trip. The poncho is big. I am 5’10 and it covered me to about mid calf. It dried quickly and stored in a bag. It does not however pack down as small as some, but since it is durable and long I was not expecting a micro-packable item. All that is what I expected from a poncho. Here are the ways I felt it went above and beyond: -the hood has a brim and is slightly shaped. This meant that it stayed over my baseball hat like it was glued there. Even when the wind picked up. -Velcro sides were great when I was using my large camera in the rain at my seat, made it easy to get it covered when the rain picked up. Also good for ventilation while walking around in less heavy rain. -it is opaque enough that my friend changed her pants and put on shorts under it in a field full of people. -however it lets enough light in at least in the grey color that in a short hail storm I was able to duck my hat into the neck and eat my nachos (photo attached). -I didn’t make it into a tent with the grommets but I did use it as a dry place to sit as well as a place to sit my camera bag. -it was also large enough to go over the back of my chair, and still cover my knees and bag in normal stadium type seating. If you want to stay dry and need a cheap poncho get this one. I have mine packed for the next adventure already.

This review is for the black Foxelli Rain Poncho. I highly recommend this rain poncho! The material is like an umbrella, lightweight yet sturdy. The fit is great. It comes down to my ankles and the sleeves/sides are a few inches above my wrist. I wrapped my hand around my wrist, and that is the size of the gap. There is velcro located around the chest area and further down the sides to keep it closed. The hood can fit as tight as you want with the drawstrings. The visa is a nice touch. The storage pouch is nice also and could be used as a waterproof bag. I haven't used the poncho yet, but its raining and I may take my dog for a walk to test it out. After I tried it on, I was able to fold and roll and fold in as I was rolling, starting at the hood, and with a little effort I got it back in the carry pouch. I plan on keeping this on my car so it will always be available. I don't camp, but you never know when an emergency arises and it's so versatile. Definitely worth $20!

This rain poncho performed well. I bought this to keep me dry on the Inca Trail hike to Machu Picchu at the end of the rainy season. When it rained, I threw this poncho over my whole body and backpack, and it fit well. It kept me and my backpack dry. The only issue is the velcro on the sides. Sometimes it would come undone, although I can see how having the sides detachable would be useful in other situations. Overall, a good buy. Decent price, and performance was solid.

Received my Foxelli poncho from Amazon yesterday. It looks really nice—better that I had expected. The material is pleasant, it fits well, and the Velcro fasteners are nicely placed to keep it closed. I like the grommets for making it serve as a tarp. I first used the old army surplus rain ponchos since back in the 60's & I'd say this seems to be the best I've seen for a reasonable price in many years. I wanted to wait for a chance to try it in a rain storm, but the weather around here stabilized as soon as I received the poncho, & it hasn't rained since--maybe that's another feature--it makes the rain stop! I'll add to this once I've put it to the test & I expect I'll raise the rating to a 5 if it works as well as it looks like it will. *** Update: I was finally able to try it in a good rain, & it worked great. It's long enough to keep my pants legs dry (I'm only 5'8", & it comes to the top of my boots. The Velcro side fasteners are easy & quick to use & help keep it from flapping. I also works well on an ATV, keeping water from pooling up in the crotch area which is uncomfortable & embarrassing!

I used this in a long hike in a rainy season and did the job very well, my clothes and my backpack were dry all the way

Love the poncho with the galaxy print! It's pretty, super lightweight, & very easy to fold up & return to its carrying pouch. It covers so much more than traditional raincoats, yet is much more comfortable, in my opinion, because it's so lightweight & airy. It repels waters just as well as any vinyl, nylon, or any other material raincoat, without causing you to overheat, in the process. You can choose to close off the sides, for a more "coat-like" feel, like creating "sleeves", by utilizing the velcro tabs on the sides. The hood has a nice brim on it, which I didn't notice when I bought it, so that was like a bonus! That makes it great for not only keeping your head dry, but for preventing rain from hitting your face. Even when it rains at an angle, & you happen to be caught in it, the brim would make it easier to grab the end, & protect your face. Awesome poncho at an amazing price! Highly recommended! Thank you for making a great product!

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’m 6’2” 350lbs this poncho easy fits me and covers me well... I bought it for hunting. I liked the camo pattern and the Velcro on the side and around the neck that allows me to keep he poncho closed up in windy and rainy weather. I like the fact that it easily rolls up and is light in my pack. The grommets make it easy to use as a shelter if needed or even a fly. I haven’t had to cold of a rainy day yet to tell if it will hold in the warmth well.. but I have little doubt I’ll have much trouble with it. Material seems to be holding up well... i would definitely buy another, and recommend to friends... if I had any complaints it would be that the company logo is white and is like a neon sign on the camo background. Really wish it could have been black or green or something that would have blended well... but I can live with it...

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.

良いです🙆買って良かった

Bought two of these on sale (the galaxy print ones were finally the same price as the other patterns). They kept us mostly dry while camping. We tend to move around a lot in the rain to fetch water, cook food, and use the loo, so our arms and ankles got a bit wet. If you were standing still at a sporting event or some other outdoor gathering I'm sure they'd work even better. Would give 5 stars for the GALAXY print alone. It is without a doubt the best looking of all the patterns.
