ONETIGRIS TENTSFORMER Hooded Poncho 4-in-1 Raincoat, Backpack Rain Cover, Half Teepee Tent and Tarp Shelter

I spend a night out in the pouring rain the day after I got this poncho shelter (which I bought with my own money). I had a lightweight 30-degree sleeping bag, a heavy-duty space blanket, a 6-mil rectangular plastic groundsheet, and my camera monopod. I spread out the groundsheet and pegged out the back side of the poncho, supporting the hood pocket on top of the adjustable monopod, which I guyed out on the front side. Then I staked out the two remaining corners and tied the armhole vents out to nearby trees with the included guy lines. The poncho had good build quality and performed admirably as a minimalist shelter; it was quick to set up and included everything needed for a basic pitch. I used the space blanket under me and wrapped over me on the front side to fend off rain spatter from the hard ground, and this kept my sleeping bag almost completely dry during several hours of downpour. The armhole vents are an excellent design and did not leak at all. My only want—besides a second poncho to act as the other shelter half—was another two stakes (8 instead of 6) to guy out the armholes when there are no trees handy. When worn as a poncho, it was well made and practical; I like the coyote color, and (of course) it was completely waterproof. The full-zip front and dedicated armholes were nice to have. I’m 6’2”, and the poncho is a great fit with or without a backpack. It was easy to vent while hiking. The hood adjustments allowed for a dialed-in fit over a baseball or watch cap. The poncho is recommended for users 5’8” and up, so anyone shorter might need a bungee or a web strap as a belt to keep it from dragging on the ground. I will definitely buy a second one of these to complete the teepee shelter. I’m quite satisfied with my purchase, and I consider this poncho to be money well spent.

It's a good product. I'm 6'4" and I'll say it's comfortable but close under it. Not a lot of room for gear. I put a contractor bag over my head to keep it dry. You'll need two more pegs of you guy out the sleeves (they need to be). If there's any wet weather, you will certainly want to put the back of it into the wind out you'll get wet. I slept under it for one night, clear skies, low humidity and cold. Super easy to pitch. A small amount of condensation toward the back in the morning but dried in minutes as soon as the sun hit it. Worth the purchase.

I picked this up for camping/hiking -and days like today where it looks great out now and 15 minutes ago it was pouring out- this is light weight, fits loose around my neck, and has a nice hood. The poncho can be used as a tent and comes with tent stakes (aluminum) and I'm not carrying them around. When I'm out hiking I usually carry my hydration pack, this poncho, some TP, snacks and a little ham radio because those baofengs can tune in FM local stations- or if your a ham like I am you can talk to people. win/win. so good news is if you need this one or two times it's worth having and it's light enough that you will forgot your carrying it. Thanks for reading my review and have a good day!

I bought this because of its combo ability to try out. I didn't want to spend a fortune trying to come up with the old military solution of a poncho and a woobie and all of that nonsense. It comes in a package about the size of a tall boy can of beer weighs a couple of ounces. It sets up as a shelter in a couple of minutes you'll need some kind of stick about 4 ft tall and I recommend getting a couple of extra tent pegs.( it's just easier than dealing with cutting ones in the field. When you want a shelter or need a shelter you don't want to be running around looking for nonsense to set it up if you don't have to.) As a matter of fact I am thinking very seriously about ordering another one for the purpose of making one of the pyramid tents if I plan to stay in a place for any length of time more than a few days. I would definitely buy another one and recommend them to friends. It's more like wearing a rain slicker than that nonsense Poncho crap. And it's more than big enough to have your rut sack underneath it with you

Could do worse for the money

I got this more for its poncho characteristics. I do not plan on using this as a primary shelter. I have way better hiking tents. The reason I got it was because I saw reviews showing it did well covering someone wearing a hiking pack. I find that claim to be accurate myself and that’s why I like it. Now the negative first. The material is such that wind driven rain or hard rain could seep through. I would say anything above moderate rain in a moderate breeze would compromise the poncho. My solution was 3M waterproofing spray. That should help with additional rain resistance. Also I’m 5’8”. If I wear this with no pack, it’s too long. I would have to use a rope or belt of some kind. Just something to consider. For the positives, it’s light enough for hiking. It’s big enough to cover a pack and still keep me dry. The zipper is nice and I like the roominess. As far as its function as a shelter … no clue. I leave that to others.

My grandson said it was pretty good out camping.

I actually bought this because others mentioned how it was too long. This is because I am 6' 215lbs and run a Tidewe 90 liter external frame backpack, which ends up being more like 130-140 liters once you have the top rail and freighter shelf fully extended and loaded. This fits over me and the fully loaded backpack perfectly and is still low enough that my pants probably still won't get wet if they are tucked into my boots. The fact that the front is zipped up helps me get it over me and the backpack without too much difficulty. Trying to do this with a regular poncho, like the Teton (which I own and is still a great product) is a real PITA and half the time you don't know if up have the backpack fully covered if you are solo. I like the fact that it turns into a shelter so once I set camp I can use it to cover the backpack outside my main tent and also keep the firewood dry. If you have a backpack that is over 70 liters this is your only choice - I spent days looking for one and this is it.

Great product, only giving 4 stars because the arm coverage is a bit short vs an actual military poncho. But the versatility of this is really cool, just need a second person and a bug screen that you can get to go with. It can definitely make for a nice overnight if needed setup. I haven't had an defects come up and I have to say the brand has been consistent in their quality. I only found out about this brand from a YouTuber (The Outdoor Gear Review). Well I've had mine now since 2024 and I don't regret buying it. It's large and does as advertised so I'm yet again a happy camper.

Very well designed. I bought two to make an emergency tent. As a poncho it’s best for tall people. I’m 6’2” but if you need to shorten it use bungee or a belt etc on the outside. You can always shorten a poncho but you can’t make it longer.
