ATEPA Honcho Poncho

I often work outside, and the weather in TX is so unpredictable. This poncho is perfect to tote along for those unpredictable days. So compact- it folds into itself and the “pouch” becomes a large zipper pocket when unfolded. It is large and roomy and accommodates any size. I am 5’3 and it goes to my ankles. My husband- as pictured- is 6’3 and it fits him as well.
Soft, warm, portable and functional!

Really warm and soft! Comfortable

I go camping throughout the year so when it’s winter season you got to be prepared for the weather. I love how it’s waterproof and has a small carry case/storage pouch. It’s very warm and fits me good as I stand at 5’10. Very nice especially when sleeping haha

So easy to put on, take off. For anyone who struggles with winter coats. Especially in wheel chair/ transport chair. Keeps my wife warm, the hood is a big plus.

Watch my wife’s video for her full review.

I got this on a whim when I saw it was available to review. I do a lot of work helping scouts and scouters prepare for backpacking trips. This looked like interesting insulation for use around camp. So, I requested it, not knowing what to expect.
Here's the low-down:
- it feels a bit thicker than an old-school poncho liner.
- material and filling are synthetic and hydrophobic. It will get "wet" in rain or from sweat, but it shouldn't mat and lose insulation value.
- I'm 6'4" and it fits me well enough. The design means it isn't likely as long as a rain poncho.
- the hood has elastic around the edge to keep it from flopping in the breeze.
- the whole thing stuffs in a built-in pouch.
- The sides can be left open, or snapped together.
Overall, I keep thinking of more and more use cases for this interesting bit of supplemental insulation.

I ordered this poncho to complete my camping essentials. I have an inflatable mattress in my camping tent, but sometimes it can be difficult to block out the cold in nature, especially considering that even if I know the temperature accurately, it can vary depending on the wind conditions. It's a bit wider than I expected, but I don't mind because it's perfect in terms of length. The fact that it can be folded and fit into its own pouch is fantastic, making the poncho very practical. I haven't tested its waterproof feature yet, but we'll see. So far, it's great.

I purchased to wear to my kid's outdoor sports games. It has definitely been warm on the chilly evenings, which is perfect. I like that it is folded inside of itself when games first start, which makes it easy to carry. Once the nifgtcair starts to chill, it is easy to unfold from its pocket pouch and put on.

This is baggy on me but I still prefer wearing it. I have not had the ability to test it being water resistant, but it keeps the wind out very well.

This poncho piece combines the warmth of a blanket with the convenience of a water-resistant sleeping bag and the style of a hoodie. Ideal for camping, backpacking, and outdoor events, it keeps you cozy and dry in various weather conditions. It can be a bit cumbersome if you are doing activities around the fire pit, but it is a great hoodie in the mornings (while camping) or evenings before going into the tend as it keeps you warm. This is a must-have for any outdoor enthusiast looking for a versatile and stylish way to stay warm while exploring the great outdoors.

Awesome thing!

This poncho is very bulky but it's light and compresses easily. The loft of the insulation let's it trap body heat efficiently so it's very warm. The large front zipped pocket is really handy.

The design makes this convenient for disabled folks or anyone who wears bulky medical devices.

Pay attention when putting it on - cuz due to the design it's very easy to accidentally stick your head into an armhole (sleeve) instead of the neck. Having someone help you put it on will minimize errors.

It's NOT waterproof so it's not suitable for use in rainy weather. (The ad did NOT claim water repellence so this isn't a complaint.)

That aside, I'm glad I bought it.

I love this! I bought this for when I go to take the dog outside to go to the bathroom in the winter. It’s super cozy, and has a big front pocket and side pockets. Easy to clean very comfortable. Recommend.

Wife loves this for outdoor activities during the winter. Says other teachers are looking to order the same, for bus duty.

Packs away nicely into a handy small package. Keeps you warm and the wind off of you. Appears to be made of quality materials. Highly recommend.

Wife finds it super comfy and convenient

Nice quality for price. Not sure
on how warm this item will be for outside sports but looks sufficient

Great quality
I love it wears it all the time

I was worried, this would not keep me warm. It cuts all the wind and kept the rain off as well. Great product. Now my husband wants one!

This very warm and comfortable.

Got this for my wife for football and lacrosse games. She loves it

Its perfect ! Its roomy and comfortable. The material is so soft and easily conforms to any setting. I'm currently sitting in my recliner wearing it, so cozy. It has a front pocket for my cold hands. The hood is great for when that winter chill crawls over your shoulders. The arms are a perfect 3/4 length so i have full use of my hands when it putter around the house time. It pulls over your head with a 3/4 zipper and those plastic snaps on the sides. I'm not sure what those are for, I might take my sewing machine to that part. Super happy with this purchase! It was a little pricey but really GOOD quality!

Very comfortable, warm, lightweight, easy to take with you, folds into a pillow. Which is also convenient for camping.

it’s a great material for camping, we had bought some other ones that were cloth and a lot of cattails and weeds to stick to them and they get dirty really easy, this is basically a sleeping bag material so it keeps the kids warm but is also pretty resistant to stains, dirt, and stickers.

Loved it. Bought 2. 1 gray the other red. I stay dry in the heaviest of rain.

This poncho is warm and cozy. The zipper is good quality.

Very cozy and exactly what it looks like—a wearable sleeping bag. I use it while sitting around the campfire/fire pit so I don’t have to smoke up my every-day jacket. Love the little chest pocket, keeps my phone nearby.
