Pro:• Keeps you dry in rain• Adjustable hood, sleeves• Clear• Great for concerts, ball games, other stadium events• Durable even after donning and doffing multiple timesCons:• A bit flimsy and tightWe got these prior to the Lady Gaga Chromatica Ball concert at Hard Rock Stadium, and they were GREAT to have! They worked as well as can be expected.For those that may not have seen on the news, the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami was the last stop on Lady Gaga’s Chromatica ball concert tour. It was stopped for rain, was paused for over an hour and then resumed only to be cancelled entirely due to more rain.We had relatively great seats in a front section, right on the field. Yup, on the field with no covering. Obviously, umbrellas are prohibited, but we did buy these ponchos in advance of the concert, very fortunately. These are small and folded and can fit in a small, clear, concert approved bag. Well, it did start to rain. We put these on and stayed relatively dry. Then when there was lightning, they had everyone on the field go inside, so now we are walking in pouring rain, in a crowd. They still kept us reasonably dry!Once inside we eventually took these off when we knew we were going to be indoors for a while. Finally, the rain subsided enough to be allowed back onto the field. Well, yeah, the seats were wet, so we put these back on! That solved the wet seat problem too.Once in our seats, the rain came back. Boy, did the rain come back. Now we are sitting in pouring rain, but with these we were still mostly dry! Finally, Lady Gaga came out in the rain, and profusely apologized, but due to an abundance of caution for the audience, band, dancers and crew the concert was cancelled.So now we are again walking in pouring rain, from our seats on the field, through the stadium, all the way to our far away parked car. These still held up! We finally get to the car, and again take these off. We get through the stadium traffic and get on the road home. But… we aren’t done with this rain poncho yet for the night.On the highway back to home, still in pouring rain there is a bad accident with injuries. Traffic has backed up and we aren’t going anywhere. We turn the SUV engine off and wait. Well, we were a bit hungry, and we still have leftovers from the pre-concert tailgate party – but they are in the cooler in the back of the vehicle, and it is still pouring rain. So, the poncho goes back on yet again! It still worked, and kept me dry while going to the back and got some sandwiches and chips! That made the wait a whole lot better!Finally, the traffic started flowing and we could finally get home. The disposable ponchos were finally done for the night and were disposed of in the trash.This is a bit long, but you definitely get the idea. These things worked, and worked well. Even taking them off and putting them back on multiple times they held up enough to work.They aren’t perfect, but hey, they are DISPOSABLE PONCHOs! For that they were great. The did pinch a bit on the sleeves. The hood was a bit clumsy, but they worked, they were small, portable, stadium acceptable, and when it was all over, we could just dump them in the trash. They were exactly what we wanted.Even with the minor complaints that other reviewers have given and we saw, I’m still giving a 5-star review. I don’t expect a perfect fitting rain garment, I expect a serviceable disposable clear plastic poncho, and that is exactly what these are. They are cheap enough to throw away, but rugged enough to survive the ordeal described above.
