If you're an average-sized person, assume that the picture is going to be pretty accurate and that your lower arms and legs will be fully exposed while wearing this poncho. During warmer weather where I was wearing short sleeves and shorts and the weather turned rainy this length worked very nicely for me, and was actually more comfortable than some older/longer ponchos I've owned. (Possibly assisted by the Frogg being more breathable than most of my older camping ponchos.) Definitely breathable, and also dried quickly after the rain stopped. On the other hand, when I was stuck in a raging downpour combined with cooler temperatures where I was wearing long sleeves and pants, the shorter design left the bottoms of my sleeves and pants exposed and was rather less comfortable as the rain drenched those sections of my clothing. Can't really penalize the poncho much for this since the pictures seem very realistic for how it fits and how much it covers, but it's enough to have me look at a different poncho for cooler-weather use.
