A very well-designed poncho, especially for rainy days. It provides effective protection from rain while also being lightweight and compact. A major advantage is that it folds up easily and fits into a rucksack without any trouble. In my opinion, it is a very practical solution for outdoor trips.
Badger Outdoor Rain Poncho Ripstop Black
Rain poncho with a practical hood with drawstring. It is a lightweight, durable and multifunctional piece of gear that’s always handy to have around. It works well in the wilderness, as well as in a car glove box or a bicycle pannier, ready for rainy weather.
Waterproof polyester with PU coating, Rip-Stop weave
The poncho is made of durable polyester. Thanks to the Rip-Stop weave, it is durable and features increased resistance to tears and mechanical damage. The material has been coated with a layer of polyurethane (PU) for greater water resistance of 5000 mm/m2.
4 metal eyelets and snap buttons, possibility to connect 2 ponchos
The model is equipped with four metal eyelets and snap buttons. This allows the poncho to be opened and hung, creating a temporary small tent. The snap buttons also allow you to combine the poncho with another identical model to obtain a larger protective area. This feature is especially useful on longer trips where every extra meter of space counts.
Lightweight design, small size when folded
The poncho works well for both shorter and longer outings. It provides excellent rain protection while being very lightweight. It easily covers an adult along with a backpack. When folded, the poncho takes up little space and weighs significantly less than a standard rain jacket.
Set elements
The set includes a practical drawstring pouch, which makes it easy to transport and safely store the poncho. It also protects the rest of your gear from accidental wetting.

Seems like a quality product. It really isn’t expensive and is much better than comparable products from Mil-Tec. Definitely worth adding to the basket. 5/5! I’m waiting for some proper rain.
-
The poncho provides excellent protection from rain, the packed size is convenient, not like an ultralight poncho, but it is more durable and, thanks to the tie-out points, can also be used very well as a tarp.
-
This poncho was bought with sudden situations in mind, when protection from rain is needed. In my opinion, it is a very good option among basic models, because cheaper versions can be disappointing, and this piece is sturdy and carefully made. I recommend it.
-
The poncho is spacious enough that even a backpack fits underneath it without any problem. A big advantage is the press studs, which help prevent the material from flapping open in the wind. When folded, it takes up very little space, so storing it is very convenient.

The problem with ponchos is almost always the same: you buy one intending to stay dry in the rain, but as soon as you start moving (say, during a hike), you end up wet on the inside because the material doesn't breathe at all. Side openings usually aren't enough to prevent condensation, as the fabric folds and sticks to itself, hindering effective airflow. However, that waterproofness becomes qiute valuable when the poncho is used as a tarp or bivy shelter something this Badger model also allows for, though, in my opinion, there are better options available. I also ordered a MFH Ripstop poncho and was able to test both with my sons during a rainy hike. Both fit reasonably well for people between 160 and 190 cm tall. For use primarily focused on rain protection while hiking, I prefer the Badger because it is slightly lighter, the fabric is less stiff, and the shape of the included pouch makes it easier to pack into your backpack. Conversely, the MFH strikes me as somewhat more robust and better suited if you plan to use it frequently as a tarp or as a groundsheet under your tent.

I liked it very much, mainly because of the right size and low weight. It is solidly made — simply a great poncho, and the hood is the perfect size. I previously had a poncho with a larger hood, and it was not very practical: the wind kept pushing it off, and even after tightening the drawstrings it still became too small. This model is well balanced and not as thick as the OP1. It fits easily even into the side pockets of cargo trousers.
-
Great poncho. It performed excellently during a hike in heavy rain. It also protects very well against the wind, which helps keep you warm under the poncho for a long time.
-
Perfectly protects against rain regardless of conditions – it's proven itself many times during fishing competitions and daily use. Made from durable and fully waterproof material. Once folded, it takes up little space in the backpack. Worth its price.
-
The poncho provides excellent protection against rain regardless of the weather. It is lightweight, yet durable. I use it in the summer at my allotment and for walks with the dog in the forest. It doesn't cause sweating, unlike traditional rain jackets. I definitely recommend it.
-
Perfect for cycling, the backpack fits easily under the poncho, so after purchasing I get wet much less often. Without the original cover, it fits into the Helikon-Tex General Purpose Cargo Pouch, which allows you to conveniently attach the whole thing to the backpack and always have it with you. The beech look, which was mentioned in another comment, is also an advantage.
-
Good value for your money. I like that it packs down to a nice small size and that there is also a packing pouch present. Tested it in rain just once in these last few months but spotted absolutely no problems. I have no complaints.
-
I bought the poncho with Scotland in mind, but I didn’t get a chance to use it in the rain, as it didn’t rain – such a paradox. Instead, it served as a groundsheet under my tent, as the ground there is always damp, and it worked perfectly with my Fjord Nansen Tordis I tent. Using the poncho as a thicker floor provided better protection against possible damage and added waterproofing. It's a practical solution, allowing you to use one product in multiple ways.
-
This is another poncho of this brand for me, this time I chose the camouflage version and I hope it will work as well as the previous ones. The poncho does its job, it is very light, has four eyelets that allow you to make a temporary shelter in the field, as well as a hood with a drawstring and its own cover. My only concern is with the PU coating, which in this piece seems less durable than in my previous poncho from this manufacturer. Additionally, the hood could be bigger, because people with a large head and a hat, helmet or cap on may have difficulties putting on the poncho.
-
Light and practical poncho that reliably protects against rain. It can be packed away small and is quickly thrown on. Ideal as a backup in your rucksack.
