Whether you’re hiking, cycling, or just strolling through the city, this poncho has got your back—literally!Here’s why I’m head over heels (or should I say hood over heels?) for this poncho:Stay Dry, Stay Happy: The Anyoo poncho is like a personal rain fortress.

It’s tear-resistant and built to last.So, next time the clouds gather, channel your inner explorer and grab your Anyoo Waterproof Rain Poncho. Trust me, it’s the ultimate rainy-day sidekick!Disclaimer: I’m not saying you should buy it, but if you do, you’ll be the coolest rain-dodger in town.

Buy this one with the zipper sleeves for better rain protection. I have purchased both the Pertomy and Anyoo Ponchos. I have each without zipper sleeves, and they perform about the same. The Pertomy has a zipper by the hood the Anyoo does not. THESE ARE OK BUT THE ANYOO WITH THE ZIPPER SLEEVES IS WORTH THE EXTRA $2. It keeps you significantly dryer in a downpour, works the same with a backpack, and is more comfortable. Pair this with light duty rain pants and you have a really good chance of staying dry in the rain.

Used it for a 3 day backpack trip in the alpine regions of New Zealand in November. It was waterproof, lightweight enough for air travel but not too flimsy--held up to backpack weight and donning/doffing without tearing; buttons helpful to prevent too much ballooning; large enough to cover 65L backpack but not too big for 5'3" person; attractive aqua color. Main downside is hood is quite large even over a warm beanie, but neck drawstring helpful to cinch to keep it loosely on.WEARING TIP from NZ Park Ranger: wear backpack OVER poncho to prevent it from catching wind (and destabilizing balance, hindering vision). Though it was harder to get food out of pockets (too wet/windy to stop in alpine Spring) it def kept me dry and comfortable. Glad I had/wore it!

We have used rain ponchos before and keep a stash in our camping gear. They're cheap, disposable, and basically a large garbage bag that we wear to stay dry despite the humiliation. Ours are bright orange as we bought them on clearance at the Coleman store. We're doing some hiking in Costa Rica next month (for the first time) and learned that rain ponchos are highly recommended to bring especially since the weather is so unpredictable in the rain forests. I could just pack a few of our 99cent orange ones from Coleman, but something told me that was a bad idea. Here's why:a) We need something neutral-colored. The fauna in the rain forest can get spooked by bright colors so it's advised to keep colors neutral, especially during night hikes.b) I don't trust the cheapy ponchos TBH. They're adequate for a few minutes but longer than that, they lack durability.c) There's a lot of stuff wrong with the cheapy ponchos, namely they don't keep the sides dry, unless you're sitting in the stands at a ball game. Which we won't be.c) Come on. I want to have some sort of dignity & style, even though a rain poncho is the most unflattering clothing item in the history of man, we'll be taking lots of photos so I don't want to cringe whenever I look at hubby and I in the future. Something that looks like we at least made an effort to look presentable is preferred.I stumbled upon the ANYOO rain poncho and the reviews looked decent. What appealed to me most about this poncho is the color. Beige/clay is a color I don['t see often in rain ponchos, so I decided to give these a try. One for me (5'4", 170lbs) one for hubby (5'11", 200lbs).They arrived yesterday and I quickly removed one from it's nifty nylon carrying case to assess the product. IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE TO BE ASTONISHED BY A RAIN PONCHO? Why yes, yes it is!1) The color is great. Love the natural beige color.2) The fabric is impressive. Heavier than our cheap disposable ponchos, but lighter than duffle bag material. And it's ripstop.3) The stitching is also impressive, like it was made by the same people that make tents4) Reflective stripe on front and back? Nice touch!5) Pocket in the front, with a flap! Ingenious. I'm surprised this is not standard for a rain poncho!6) Optional buttons to close around arms and sides. Wow! Just Wow! Not only will this help to keep sides and arms dry, but it makes the poncho have a way nicer profile. Like I won't look like I'm wearing a plastic tablecloth over my head!7) Hood with built in visor. Yes yes! So water doesn't drip right onto my face!8) Lined interior, so it doesn't feel like a sauna underneath with the humidity and rain (and possibly sun).9) Grommets/eyelets in the bottom corners. What? I didn't even know it came with these until I was folding it back up. For those that don't know, this is an invaluable feature that allows you to turn this poncho into a tent or shelter by tethering it through the grommets to ground or other stationary object. Whoever thought of this deserves a prize!10) Length is ideal for a 6' tall person at least. It is higher in the front than the back which makes sense. But it still falls below the knees for protection.This poncho is A-MAZING. I'm literally excited to wear it because it was designed to be much more than just a waterproof barrier to keep you and your backpack dry. It actually has useable features that will make your rain-soaked adventure even more bearable!Only 3 concerns, but they are so minor. 1) The neck hole is not very big. My hubby has a fairly large neck but was able to get it over his head with no problem. I believe the reason they made they didn't allow more space in the neck hole is to keep the water out. Duh. Makes sense. And 2) as someone else mentioned, the little nylon storage bag that it comes in is tiny. Be prepared to spend some time rolling this poncho up TIGHTLY to squeeze it back into the bag. Don't think you'll be able to fold it up by following the original creaselines either. It's impossible. Folding a fitted sheet is easier than re-folding this poncho so don't even try. Just do your best to fold it into a large rectangle and then roll it super tight to get it back in the bag. You will go mad otherwise. Lastly, the snaps are super secure, which is good, but when unbuttoning, requires some care. I believe if you yank on the snaps to unbutton, you will rip the fabric. The fabric is strong but not that strong.All-in-all, I'm EXTREMEY pleased with the features of this poncho. Now I haven't actually tested it in the rain yet, and who knows when that will be. But compared to my cheap disposable rain ponchos, this one's a rolls royce. If Tony Stark designed a rain poncho, I imagine it would be very similar to this one.

Used this for a week long trip in Costa Rica where it poured buckets of rain every day. This kept me well covered and dry. The poncho is a very sturdy, comfortable material that doesn't stick to you like plastic ponchos do. Water rolled off of it and it was easy to shake off. It rolls up easily to go back into the included case and it fit into the water bottle pouch of my daypack so it was accessible when rain started. Several people in my tour group asked where I bought it. I would definitely revving this one as it's excellent quality.
