This is def not a great or a well made item. It is about the thickness of two one time use panchos but much larger. It will do in a pinch. Even at only $10.00 I was surprised that is was so thin; you can actually see right thru it. It is light weight and if the weather isn't bad/ not too hot nor too cold it would do. It doesn't have any sides so you could cut some large trash bags to cover the sides to keep rain out if need be. Just don't forget to pack some duck tape with it.Honestly; I'd rather rely on a poncho or tarp it would offer much better protection and is so much studier. Not bad for dire emergency but I would spend an extra $5 or $7 and get a good tarp I think you'll be much better protected.I don't recommend the product.
