VAUDE Poncho Valdipino (Sports Apparel)

Customer Review

I bought the poncho for a 1-week bicycle tour and due to unfortunately quite regenerischen weather poncho had its great properties may be the same show - unfortunately the emphasis is on could.
In principle, it would not be bad - would not be missed if a fundamental product feature (more on that below negative).
Advantages:
+ The functional form and the average in size L permit at least for not too heavy rain completely covered to cycling.
+ Due to the fit will not get you into a sweat and a (short) pants remain dry, the poncho is sufficient completely over the front bicycle bag and can be fixed by means of loops on the handlebars. This will take a bit of practice, but is actually easier than I thought, and when properly used is not also fall hazard
not optimal:
+ - But is then completely covered everything: one sees neither the bicycle computer, even the brakes nor the circuit as well as the front sprocket. This has a certain blind transport operation - it would make sense to manufacture the Poncho there transparent material.
+ - Unlike in the Amzaon product description can not the poncho neatly stowed away in the front pocket, this is more intended as a carrying bag for small items. However, this may also be due to different Poncho versions were recorded with the same description.
Negatives:
--- After half an hour drive with moderate rain passes through the hood lack waterproof seams, the water on his head and from there into the neck. After about 2 hours the same happened to all other seams exposed to rain (shoulders, etc.). After 4 hours of rain the tour is then under Poncho well soaked. A no-go criterion - then the poncho can be used only as a short rain screen replacement. Too Bad.
