A very nice poncho, especially for rainy weather. It protects well from the rain, while also being lightweight and not taking up much space. A big plus is that it folds up quickly and can be easily thrown into a backpack. For me, it is very practical for outdoor trips.
Badger Outdoor Rain Poncho Ripstop Black
Rain poncho equipped with a practical hood featuring a drawstring. Designed to be lightweight, robust, and versatile, this essential item is ideal to keep within easy reach at all times. Perfect for outdoor excursions in the forest, and equally useful stored in a car glove compartment or bicycle pannier, always ready to protect against unexpected rainfall.
Waterproof polyester with PU coating, Rip-Stop weave
Constructed from robust polyester, the poncho offers enhanced durability. Utilization of Rip-Stop weaving provides superior strength and improved resistance to mechanical wear and tearing. A polyurethane (PU) coating has been applied to the material, delivering water resistance up to 5000 mm/m2.
4 metal eyelets and snap buttons, possibility to connect 2 ponchos
Outfitted with four metal eyelets and snap buttons, the model offers versatile use in the field. The poncho can be unfolded and suspended to serve as a temporary small tent, providing reliable shelter on demand. Snap buttons enable seamless connection to another poncho of the same model, expanding the protective surface area. This functionality proves highly beneficial during extended outdoor missions, where maximizing available space is crucial.
Lightweight design, small size when folded
Designed for both short missions and extended treks, the poncho delivers superior rain protection while remaining extremely lightweight. Ample coverage ensures an adult and their backpack stay dry. Once packed, the poncho occupies minimal space and weighs considerably less than a typical rain jacket.

Supplied with a handy drawstring pouch, ensuring convenient transport and secure storage of the poncho. The pouch also shields the rest of your equipment from unintended moisture.

Review summary
Customers praise this poncho for strong rain protection, low weight, compact packed size, and durable ripstop fabric. Many highlight its roomy cut that fits over a backpack and its versatility, as it also works well as a tarp, emergency shelter, gear cover, or tent groundsheet. Reviewers value the price-to-quality ratio and say it performs well for hiking, cycling, fishing, and keeping in a backpack or car for sudden weather changes. Some reviews note limited breathability during active walking, weaker performance in strong wind, and minor issues with the hood, attachment points, clips, or seam finish. A few users also report leakage in heavy downpours, so it seems best suited as a practical, multi-use outdoor and emergency poncho rather than specialist gear for prolonged extreme conditions.

A very practical poncho, light and very convenient to carry, it protects excellently against rain and wind. It also worked well on a bicycle, providing breathability while protecting from the rain, although its size is somewhat of an issue here.
-
The poncho did its job during a mountain hike, but for me it is more of a product for staying put and waiting out the rain than for active hiking.
-
The material is thick and gives the impression of being durable. The poncho itself is made very well, although in my opinion it is slightly worse than, for example, Helikon. If someone is looking for inexpensive waterproof clothing, I recommend it.
-
The product is very good, the material is great and very hard to puncture or scratch, everything matches the description and it is fairly large, so you can put it on while wearing a backpack. I highly recommend it.
-
The product looks very solid and well made. The price is really affordable, and in terms of quality it clearly surpasses similar Mil-Tec products. It is definitely worth buying. 5/5! Now all that remains is to wait for some proper rainfall.
-
The poncho provides very good protection from rain, and when folded it has a convenient, compact size. It is not as light as ultralight models, but it stands out for its greater durability and, thanks to its guy-out points, also works great as a tarp.
-
The poncho was purchased with emergency situations in mind, when you need shelter from the rain. It seems to me that this is the best offer for a basic poncho, because cheaper models may not meet expectations; this one is definitely durable and carefully made. I recommend it.
-
A roomy poncho, so we can fit even a backpack underneath it. A plus for the snap fasteners, which help secure the material from opening up in the wind. Once folded, it has very compact dimensions and is easy to store.

With ponchos, there is almost always the same problem: you buy them so you do not get soaked in the rain, but once you start moving, for example while hiking, you quickly get wet on the inside because the material practically does not let air through. Side openings usually do not solve the condensation problem, because the fabric folds and sticks to itself, so air circulation is poor. However, this complete waterproofness turns out to be very useful when the poncho serves as a tarp or emergency shelter at camp — and this Badger model also allows that, although in my opinion better solutions can be found. I also ordered the MFH Ripstop poncho and, together with my sons, had the chance to test both during a rainy trip. Both models fit people roughly between 160 and 190 cm tall. If I were to use a poncho mainly during hikes as rain protection, I would choose the Badger, because it is a little lighter, the material is softer, and the included stuff sack has a shape that makes it easier to pack into a backpack. The MFH, on the other hand, gives a sturdier impression and is better suited for frequent use as a tarp or as a groundsheet under a tent.
-
I liked it very much, especially because of its size and weight. It is solidly made, simply a very good poncho, and the hood is just right. I previously had a poncho with a large hood and it is impractical - the wind pulls it off, and even if you tighten the drawstrings, it is still too small. This one is just right and it is not as thick as the OP1. It even fits in the side pockets of cargo pants
-
The poncho is excellent. It performed perfectly in heavy rain during a hike. It also protects very well against the wind, which helps keep warmth under the coat.
-
It perfectly protects against rain in any weather, it has saved me more than once at fishing competitions or in everyday life. The material is solid, durable, and above all, absolutely waterproof. When packed, it doesn't take up much space in the backpack. Worth its price.
-
The poncho perfectly protects against rain in any weather. It's light and durable. I use it in the summer at the allotment, while walking the dog in the forest. I don't sweat in it, unlike with regular rain jackets. Highly recommended.
-
Suitable for cycling, the backpack easily fits under the poncho – so I got noticeably less wet than before the purchase. Without the original cover, it fits into the Helikon-Tex General Purpose Cargo Pouch pocket – in such a configuration, the whole thing can be attached to the backpack and kept ready. The look of the beech, mentioned in another comment, is also a plus.
