An exciting Poncho thread

[Floridasun]

Mel49 I feel your pain. We were there in May too and it was the most rain we have ever seen in a 2 week Florida trip in 20 years. Had to give up wearing trainers and stick with flip flops as they were just soaked all the time from paddling our way around. We usually use disposable ponchos but bought the Disney ones as just needed that bit extra. Still got wet but they helped.

We have had the Disney ones for years, still as good as new, my friend bought £1 one and evenually bought Disney ones.

I finally bit the bullet and bought new ponchos last year as ours had literally disintegrated.

Anyhow being the shy retiring sort I went for very low key subdued colour

We bought ponchos for our first trip and they travelled with us on a few subsequent trips but we eventually gave up taking them. We always seemed to be carrying them to parks when there was no rain and on the days we left them in the case, back in the room it to be lashing down.

Needless to say, we have been soaked at Disney loads of times now but we are Scottish so we are used to rain. Warm Disney rain is definitely an improvement on the stuff we are used to and you are not long drying off in the Florida sun

Hi
I got great quality ones in Home Bargains for £1.49 they were along with the festival/camping bits, a lot stronger than the poundland disposable ones they are the type with the popper buttons down the sides, came in navy, black and bright pink.

Thank you for all of your poncho related replies, looks like some Dibbers have some contenders for worlds oldest poncho! I will have a look at some of the recommendations or maybe even splash out on some Disney ones! 😯

Only Ikea would have a YouTube video on how to reassemble them My God you need a degree in phyics and advanced areonautical engineering to get them back looking tidy.

I have hidden them so she can't ever find them.

See more...

yes the front pocket is the pouch is goes into

we just used the " ram it in " method, it seemed to work most of the time

As I said previously we don’t use ponchos anymore.

I was banned from MK for wearing this one...didn’t even have the knife at the time
