Will this poncho keep my legs a butt dry when I 'm sitting down on riding mower? With A regular rain suit my lap and butt always gets wet

It's quite long in back (and can snap up to make it shorter) but the answer really depends on your height.

I guess it depends on your size. I am a 5'1" female about 125 pounds. This poncho hits me about mid calf. That is without the extra approximate 12" you can add by unsnapping the back side of the poncho. I am happy with mine - it's very waterproof!

Good question. This poncho has extra room at the upper back for a back-pack. Use the photo as a guide to determine if it will help during mowing. Rather than a poncho you may want to consider a rain suit with pants.

I wear mine during bowling and exercising at the gym. It gets really sweaty and is okay. Couldn't say what would happen if it got completely wet. Good luck.

We camped for four days, two of which we experienced heavy constant downpours. With a tarp underneath, it held up well. The fly does not go down the sides at all, so you must be very very careful to not allow anything to touch the sides or it will leak. Also, the little stow pockets on the side will leak if you have anything in them during rain. It was only moderately windy and it held up well.

If it is a light rain or snow, it is okay at wicking water away but if it is heavier than a drizzle, it starts absorbing water. I solved this by keeping one of those dollar store rain ponchos with me and if it storms I put it over the carrier and use the hole for the head to hold the carrier handle.

Paula, yes it does the job. I have not had any problems with it getting wet when it rains. However, it does not cover the entire unit down to ground. The cover stops just above the legs. I hope that helps you.

IT comes with a rain cover. I was outside for about 8 hours in the rain and it kept everything inside dry with the cover on. However, back pocket, which sits along your back, is not protected by the cover and will become wet as rain from your back might soak through. This is where a laptop or such is intended to go. I would not recommend carrying anything of value in that pocket if you will be in the rain, otherwise, the cover sufficiently protects the remainder of the items in the other compartments.

Yes i have worn this in heavy rain! It keeps you dry! My pants were soaked, and took off my coat and was 100% dry!

Janice, is your lawn the least bit damp when you mow ? If so, that could be part of your problem.

The rain gets through the mesh a bit, but it depends on how much rain. For most of us, it wouldn't be a problem. Once, in a real downpour, I put a plastic bag over the hat...my wife laughed a lot, but I stayed quite dry. Or you could just wear the plastic bag? I like that the hat does a better job of keeping the rain off my glasses. The mesh helps with the heat and humidity here in Florida's summers.

It is ok for short times in rain. I ride a motorcycle with it and it soaks through pretty quick in moderate rain. I.m not super impressed with the jacket overall.

It works better when you fold it back, although some of the water will still get through with the fabric on. During a slow, steady rain or when using an oscillating sprinkler most of the water seems to get through the fabric.

Well my furniture is under a patio but from the material that the cushions are made of, it should be fine in the rain. Water seems to repel off pretty well

yes it is! I was on a trip to Greenville SC. we got stuck in the rain and none of my stuff got to wet. I also wear it around everywhere and sweat with it on. it's been really awesome! I may upgrade to one of the larger ones but this particular bad is amazing!

The rain hood works very well, this is the best tail bag that I have owned. your contents will remain dry. as an extra precaution I spayed the bag with water repellant.

For my purposes, the rain fly was a very good fit. In fact, the fit over the outer poles was snug enough that we did not feel the need to tie it down. Only when it started raining did we tie it down so that we could make it a bit tighter to prevent puddling.

The top covering is some type of tightly woven, micro-fiber synthetic. 95% of the water will run off of it, but, it will 'get wet'. However, the covering is thin, and the amount of water (or perspiration) it will 'hold' per square inch is very little. It can be almost dried by strongly blotting with an absorbent dry cloth. It is NOT waterproof like plastic, vinyl, rubber, or treated leather. Also, it will wear out (be abraded) faster than the material previously mentioned.That all being said, it is the best bike seat I have found (for me @ 6'-2", 250lbs, 75yo)! All day comfort...my legs give out before my butt does...no more painful 'squirming' near the end of a long ride. Yippee!

I haven't needed to protect it from rain. The cloth tarp covers the top of tank for the most part. The thing I constantly need to protect it from is the mulch discharge from the mower. I keep forgetting and get a bunch of grass stuck to the sticky paper :)
