I purchased these for our trip to Disney, The color options for adults and children were great. You get green, blue, yellow, and red in both children and adult sizes. We used them for afternoon rain showers that are typical in Florida and also for a couple of the water rides when I didn't want my backpack and its contents to get soaked. I thought the quality was good and it kept everything that was covered dry. The cons for this are that they are not breathable and cause massive amounts of sweat in humid climates. To me, these are perfect for places like Oregon, Canada, Ireland, and other cooler, rainy climates. I ended up wrapping my backpack in one at Disney and just dealt with the rain on my own because it was more comfortable to be in the rain than to be dripping with sweat in the poncho. Another con is that the kids' ponchos did not have drawstrings. I understand this can be a safety concern; however, there was no point in having the hood feature because it did not stay on without a drawstring and it frustrated my children. The length hit my 4 year old son's shoe tops and my 6 year old at her upper calves (but they are both very tall for their ages and 99th percentile for height). So this tells me that the kids ponchos are made for those around 5 years old and up which, to me, is age appropriate for incorporating a drawstring in the hood. The other con was the price. For something that we ended up having to ditch because of breathability issues, it was definitely overpriced. So overall they do the job an come conveniently packed. I would absolutely recommend these in cooler climates, but I would avoid this set if you are traveling anywhere with a warm or humid climate because you will find yourself ditching them quickly.
