I haven't been able to use it outdoors yet but going by the first impression, it seems to be a solid poncho. I like the quality and also the pocket that coverts into the bag the most. My problem is that is too lenghty for me as I'm 5"3. I will have alter the lenght a bit in front. My friend who is 5"5 felt it was lenghly for them too. It would be nice if we could have 2-3 standard lenghts covering for all heights.
Another thing I thought would be useful was a quick tutorial video on how to fold the poncho to fit back in the covertable bag perfectly. I liked how compact it was when it arrived. I tried to fold it back in a couple of ways, it wasn't as early good. A quick short video on tricks to fold it compactably would be helpful.
