Breathable as a raincoat. Packs easily back into its bag. A little long for a 165-centimeter user when there is no weight on the back. The tightening of the hood and the cap as well as the shortening cord on the back of the cloak are good features. Quality and good product, although expensive.

Lighter than stated (195g). In Varuste.net's announcement, the length was incorrect at the time of purchase, the product is 15cm shorter (280cm -> 265cm) and that's a minus of almost 2 meters for a user. I have used it as a one-person tent for a few dozen nights and also on rainy nights, as a poncho only when arranged. Observations in needy use:
+ light, easy, simple and compact
+ enough loops in the corners (4) and on the long sides (2) for either wedges/strings
- also in the Hupu region, there could be a fastening loop to raise the ridge of the tarp and reduce the accumulation of water
- the color options are glaring
- that 280cm would have been perfect, then the bike would have also fit completely in the rain cover
- maybe a bit narrow as a strap, if you like wide ones, etc. Very difficult to get both wind and rain protection
If your hiking buddy also has this same model, you can snap them together to get a bigger bag.

Ultra-light and compact, but the snaps are so delicate that they open too easily when your hands are moved or otherwise stretched. It also felt like the fabric would have permeated water in the end, but it was probably water that had fallen in, especially because of the snaps that had opened.
