Good product. When folded, it is the length and width of my wallet, and about half the thickness, so it's really easy to carry around. The material is thin and flimsy, but perfect for the job. The "one size fits all" is very wide and I can wear it with my knapsack on my back, so it protects my knapsack also. This is great for my purposes, but it may not be great for everyone because it might be blown upwards on a windy day since the fit is so loose. Also, it's a bit shorter than I would have liked, it barely covers my knees and elbows and I'm only 5 feet 7 inches tall. I have not tested it in the rain yet.
It's mistakenly described as "assorted color", it's really all clear.
Altogether, it's certainly good to have. The price is good and I would not be able to carry a bulkier one with me when I travel, so I'm certainly happy to have it. Disposable Poncho One Size Fit All with Hood 20 Per Pack Assorted Color
There isn't too much to say about inexpensive rain ponchos but we took them on a five week trip when all we were carring was a duffle bag and one backpack! They are individually wrapped so you don't have to worry about them getting damaged when crammed into a bag. We did use ours and they were big enough and sturdy enough to keep us nice and dry. If you're looking for a small (disposable) poncho, these certainly will be just fine!!
Make no mistake, this is a DISPOSABLE poncho. Use it for one day and then throw it away. If you understand that, you will appreciate this poncho. I bought a stack of these from Amazon and I always keep one in my bag instead of a heavier, permanent poncho or an umbrella. When it rains, I throw on the disposable poncho. When I get home, I throw it in the trash. Sure, that's not very Earth-friendly, but it's convenient. As other reviewers have noted, it weighs next to nothing (less than 1 oz, I think).I always carry a rain hat to use in conjunction with one of these. You need the rain hat to keep the hood on (and keep rain out of your eyes/face/glasses). Ponchos don't work well in the driving rain or wind due to the hood always getting blown off and your face being exposed to rain. Putting a rain hat over the hood fixes this problem.Two thumbs up for this excellent product!
I haven't had a need to use one yet, but the size and weight are perfect to put a couple in your pocket for an emergency. They are quite sheer to afford the compactness, but should work to keep you dry if you caught in an unexpected storm. I put a couple of these in my golf bag, my backpack, my cars, my briefcase, and if need be my back pocket. The package has plenty to keep me covered.
These disposable ponchos are actually somewhat thicker than expected and can be reused if some care is taken. Being somewhat larger (wider) than the average person, the "one size fits all" doesn't always apply to me but these did fit fine with a little room to spare.
The ponchos are clear plastic and come in individual ziplock bags so they can be put back in after drying off, with careful folding. We are keeping some of these in our camper and in the glovebox of the cars so we will always have rain protection on hand when needed.
Highly Recommended!

These ponchos are terrific if you get stuck in a downpour without an umbrella. They are compact enough to carry in a pocket, handbag or automobile glove compartment. I am sending a couple to a friend in Florida which experiences heavy rains without notice all the time.'
