frogg toggs® Emergency Poncho

Great little item for the cost. I carry one in my 10 essentials kit and have used it many times on hikes when rain moved in. It does what is supposed to do and weighs under 3 oz. It is not a good item for bushwhacking or rugged trails, but for established trails, it is fine. I also use one as a floor protector for my one-man tent. One survived a complete Philmont trek, which was pretty impressive. For the multipurposers out there, I would NOT try to rig an emergency shelter with this item - it isn't strong enough.

Bought some at Walmart for me and my sons for rain events at wilderness retreat. Soaking rain almost the whole weekend and these ponchos really did the trick. Lightweight, easily compressed for storage, and can be dried just by hanging up. Kept us dry in between the cabins and the mess hall. Getting a few more for emergency rainfall while backpacking. Great job offering this great product at a very affordable price.

I got this poncho in my stocking and thought I'd never use it. Well, I did and it worked as labeled. The best part is that after several days camping when we were leaving I simply put it in the recycle bin and was done. Perfect
