I am tired of being caught in the rain, and I also hate the cheap one-time-use (or so it seems because they rip so easily) ponchos, so I bought one of these Frogg Toggs and am happy with it. If you take the time to fold it up tight, you can easily get it back into its original holder, which makes it pretty convenient to throw into a backpack or large purse to carry with you. It's lightweight. It's not as suffocating as the cheap plastic ponchos. I had to wear it a few times in the summer heat when a pop-up thunderstorm appeared and it wasn't too overbearing in the heat. I have purchased a total of three and two teenage boys wore the other two and they haven't managed to ruin them yet, so I will call them pretty sturdy ponchos. Our main use for them so far has been to use at an amusement park and for camping because, of course, we can't go camping without it raining. Also, another big plus for me is, when I have to pack these up after a rainstorm and they're still wet, and then say it rains a few hours later and we have to get them back out, they're dry and do not have a funky smell.
