Not going to be to everyones taste, and to be honest I got it because I knew it would be a cut above a poundland/99p store poncho, but a good way to see how I'd get on cycling with a poncho/cape, and for the price these are very good - how the seller makes a profit over ebay fees/postage I don't know!

Used it twice last week and while its not big enough to go down the back of the saddle and over the bars so I had to stick my arms out of the holes, but stayed completely dry otherwise
Downside is work colleague described me as Casper the Ghost on two wheels and my ever supportive ball and chain said I looked like a c**t
Was very dry though

Re: emergency waterproof poncho
It looks marginally better than the old dodge of using a bin bag.
As an emergency item it's probably light and will fold down to a small size.
Obviously it isn't going to last very long in use.

Yes, something of a drawback.
Worth getting something decent for this sort of application I think.
I've seen a few cheap ponchos you could put your finger through. I've seen better made condoms.
(anyone care to call Durex and suggest a diversification?)

Re: emergency waterproof poncho
To be fair this one is typically German in its construction - I doubt it would last too long in daily use, but even the little bag it's supplied in is well made!
