Was worried about all the mixed reviews on this product. Poncho arrived quickly and was packaged well.The poncho is not thin, tearable poncho material, it is thicker woven material but still lightweight. It covered my daughter to her mid calf, so big, she is 8 years old. She used this for camp all summer long and was the driest on rainy days! It folds into it's own pouch for storage.Will be purchasing one for my other kid soon. Nice poncho.
