Lightweight Cycling Rain Poncho Breathable Bike Hooded Raincoat with Reflector Strip

I've waited to review until we have had a few solid downpours. This rain cape has kept me dry in the Pacific Northwest unpredictable weather. The hood of the cape fits snugly to the head and is comfortable when worn underneath a helmet. The clear side panels on the hood help improve peripheral visibility. The cape material itself seems pretty durable and I haven't noticed any wear and tear from folding it up inside of itself a few dozen times. The reflective visibility stripes are a nice feature, though the strips are rather narrow. The hand signal openings are large and allow you to signal and then return to the dry cocoon relatively easy. Cycling with a rain cape is more comfortable than rain jacket plus pants in warmer wet weather because it allows for excellent ventilation and it is quick to don and doff when the weather is variable. This cape (poncho) combines the essential features of the nicest rain capes with a reasonable price point.

I later found a rain pant and jacket on amazon for the same price so in hindsight I might have done that but given that this Pancho has a pouch and is completely waterproof I would buy again. I probably should give 5 stars except the hood has one annoyance which I can't seem to get past with any hoodies I have found. The cord which tightens it does nothing, it comes loose in any wind. Shouldn't be advertised as a cycling rain Pancho because of this since the hood is basically non-functional for biking.

Sturdy. Nice and roomy. Cannot figure out how to fold it back into its pocket.

It’s quite large as expected. Wore it in a pretty significant downpour to walk my pup and was completely dry from mid-calf up. Workmanship is above what I expected for the price. I’ll never be able to get it folded down perfectly to fit in the pouch but not a big deal.

pluses: kept my head and torso dry on down to about my knees. minuses: arms got wet, knees down got wet. this was bicycling. I ran over dog poop and the pancho got some rubbed on it since it hung down far enough that it rubbed on the bike tire. I do like the hood very much....the clear sides are much appreciated as I don't have to turn my head as far looking for cars. I was hoping to stay completely dry but was only like 50% dry so I have ordered rain pants from another company and a cheap 5 pack of rain panchos with sleeves.....this coat matches my new bicycle and I like the reflective strips but probably would work better for someone walking versus cycling.

I wore this for about an hour and a half in the rain and I was still dry but your forearms stick out of the pockets because there’s no sleeves really and it has huge shoulders as if you were a football player with pads. The front edge was flapping around my waist so I used my headlight strap and secured one corner to my handlebars and then I was much better off.with knees dry too

It is waterproof. It is airtight. If someone wants to lose weight, dress like this and go to the gym. You sweat a lot in it and it makes you cold. But it doesn't let water through.

It is waterproof that's all I can say about it. It's definitely NOT a bike poncho. It will not fit over a bike helmet so if it starts to rain you have to take your helmet off to get it on. The front drapes over the handlebars...until you start to ride. Then it blows back and exposed your handlebars and gloves. You have to wrap it around and hod it to your handlebars to keep it in place, then pray you don't have to use your brakes because it interferes with your brake levers. The back puffs up like a balloon. Your legs are exposed and will get soaked. There is no way to free your arms without hiking it up. The slits cut in if for your hands are too low to do any good.

Parfait pour ne pas se faire tremper. Résistant et bon qualité prix.

Super

Bisiklete oturduğunuzda gidonu ve arkanızı güzel kapatarak ayakların yağmur almasını önlüyor. Ayrıca yanlarda ellerinizi çıkartabileceğiniz cep gibi kısımları çok fayda sağlıyor. Kapşonun sağ ve sol tarafı şeffaf yapılmış. Sağa ve sola baktığınızda rahat bir görüş sağlıyor

Queda un poco corto en la parte de atrás, por lo que cuando llueve, el agua gotea en el pantalón. Esto no me pasaba al principio que usaba una bicicleta en dónde manejaba erguido, en la de montaña ya no funciona igual.

it was right for me
