Great quality for the price
Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2024
I live in Florida and don't have a car so this comes in handy especially during the rainy summer season. I like the color a lot and the quality of the material this is made of. Very lightweight and dries relatively quickly. I like that this is big enough to cover me, my backpack and a good portion of my e-bike, keeping everything dry. This also folds up neat and compact and fits easily in my backpack without taking up much room. Highly recommend.

Camino tested
Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2024
I wore this hiking the Camino in Galicia, Spain in April. It fit over my pack and generally kept me dry. Occasionally I would get some water down the collar, but the poncho was great anyway for keeping me very dry overall. Recommended, and a lot less expensive and durable than comparable ponchos.

Great Quality & Coverage, but there's Pros & Cons!
Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2015
I have mixed feelings about this poncho. There's pros and cons, and it truly depends on who is purchasing this poncho and what for! I purchased this poncho for our Disney Trip. I have heard great things about Frogg Toggs, including the long life and great coverage, so I figured this purchase would be perfect for all the Disney Trips we take throughout the years! And if I liked it, then I would purchase another for my husband.
I received it 2 days before our trip. Thankful I opened it because the smell of a burnt forest is not what I'd be able to walk around smelling like throughout my trip. The smell was HORRIFIC! Not sure why or how it gets this smell, but it is definitely not even close to being wearable unless it is washed first. When I opened it up completely, there was a tear in the front of it. It was small, but it was mixing that whole waterproofed layer of material, and no doubt if we were in heavy rain, it would go through. I contacted the company immediately, and they sent out a new one overnight!!! VERY PLEASED with the Customer Service! With that being said, I did have to wait till it arrived in order to wash it because of the smell. But it arrived, I put it in a laundry bag for protection, added it with a few other items and washed it on gentle cycle. It came out great, stink free, put it in the dryer for 2 minutes to get the excess water off before I hung it to dry, and it was dry to take on my trip the next morning.
Now.. onto the size and coverage. This thing is HUGE! I am 5' 3, and although I wish I can say I was super skinny, I can't :-(. But... I'm not really big either. I wore maybe a size 8 at that time. Comes down really low. Hey.. Can't complain about the coverage now, right? It's not to the point of it tripping me, but it is extremely long! Not a biggy.. It's light weight, does not feel bulky and heavy, and I'll get great coverage obviously. I also wanted this one because of the hood. I can tighten it so it doesn't fly off when it's really windy. But the hood ended up being a problem. It was SO BIG, that it not only covered my whole head, but my entire face too!!! Not even an exaggeration! I tried to stop it at my forehead and tighten the toggle to keep it from going over my face, but it didn't work. So it is very hard to walk around the parks in this, as I can't see where I'm going! I wore it on splash mountain, and we had the best laugh at the action shot of the log flume going down. Who is that faceless person?!?!? All you saw next to my little 5 year old, was a giant blue cape! It really was funny!
So... I gave it 4 because it does have great coverage and the durability is obvious. Will last for many years to come. But, it has been passed over to my husband because the hood is just way too big. For him as well, But he can deal with it better. And as far as the smell is concerned.. easy fix by washing it gently in a netted garment/washer bag if you don't have front loads, to prevent it from getting torn in the wash. Just make sure you order it to arrive several days before you will need it and you'll be fine.
Overall... This poncho is of great quality and will have a very long life if you take care of it and store it properly. Perfect for a man or tall woman. And the hood? Not too horrific if you're not as picky as me or have an issue if it flies off your head.

Rain poncho
Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2024
This rain poncho covers most of my body from the shoulders to calves. I am 5ft 1 &1/2 in. tall.The poncho was a great color (bright yellow) that would be easily seen during a rain storm or a dark night. It is very easy to put on and takeoff and has snaps that keep the rain out. The material is fairly lightweight, but seems to be well made. I would recommend this rain poncho.

Excellent light weight, packable poncho for rural or urban hiking
Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2024
Used these on a recent trip to Europe across 3 countries and several cities over two weeks. It rained, sporadically and heavily at times and these ponchos provided excellent protection and were easy to access and put away when not needed. The trip covered a 60+ mile hike through rural paths and also commuting on local trams, buses and longer distance inter-city trains.
The material is marked as Polypropylene but feels Tyvek like. Bought 3 of these in all, which all performed well. Returned from the trip, did a cold wash and hung to dry and then folder back into the pouches they came packed in.
If you have an Osprey backpack such as a Talon, the poncho and its pouch fits easily into the expandable stretch mesh pocket on the back.
Well done FROGG TOGGS!

I recently purchased the Frogg Toggs Ultra-Lite2 Poncho.
Pros:
Striking Color: The first thing that caught my eye was the color. It's vibrant and stands out, which is great for visibility during outdoor activities.
Effectiveness: Yes, it works! I've been out in the rain a few times with it, and it's kept me dry. The waterproofing does its job well, which is the most important aspect of rain gear.
Cons:
Material Quality: While the material is fine and seems breathable, it feels a bit flimsy. I'm a bit concerned about its durability in the long run, especially if it gets caught on something sharp.
Overall Build: The overall build quality reflects the ultra-light nature of the product. It's great for light rain and moderate conditions but might not hold up in more extreme weather or rough usage.
Conclusion:
Overall, the Frogg Toggs Ultra-Lite2 Poncho is a decent choice for someone who needs basic rain protection without the bulk. It's wonderfully lightweight and easy to pack, making it ideal for light outdoor activities or as an emergency rain gear. However, if you're looking for something to withstand rough conditions or more rigorous use, you might want to consider something more robust. It's a good balance of functionality and style, just handle it with care!
