Price slashed on Amazon portable poncho raincoat that's so good it ‘saved the day’

Waterproof, lightweight, easily compactible - perfect for a camping trip on the Welsh coastline

A raincoat poncho that customers have said 'saved our camping trip' is being sold on Amazon for a massively discounted price with 25% off.

Originally £19.99, the Victoper waterproof poncho, which comes in seven colours, is now being sold for less than £15, and with the weather constantly changing from hot to cold, dry to wet, this waterproof coat is the perfect addition to your day trip because it is easily transportable and can be tightly packed away in its case (plus, it only weighs 0.3kg).

Made from PVC material and 210T ripstop polyester fabric, the coat is lightweight and even includes a waterproof pocket - perfect for easy access - plus, it has an adjustable hood that protects your entire face thanks to its cap-esque finish. It comes in a variety of colours too - from green to pink to orange.

Thanks to its vast size, too (106cm by 142cm when laid flat), the coat can cover both you and your backpack and can also double up as a large tarp to be used for shelter and a floor mat. This is due to the fact that the coat's hem has eyelets that unfold to make the coat even larger. It can even be used as a tent cover.

An absolute steal for any outdoorsy person, its even tear resistant - so you can meander through the woods, mountains and coastal paths without the fear of water getting in too badly. And shoppers are going wild for it, with many praising it protecting them from "torrential downpours".

One happy customer wrote: "August 2023 has been very wet indeed and I bought this poncho as a last minute thought. I am so pleased I did. We had 18 hours of rain on our tent and we were saved from being drenched by using this poncho as a cover for our tent. It was 100% waterproof and saved our holiday from being a disaster. I did get to wear it once and it was the ideal wet weather cover, keeping all my clothes dry. It dries quickly and packs away in the handy bag - I highly recommend this poncho."

Another said: "Bought to wear to a 2 day festival on a very rainy weekend. Wasnt expecting it to be up to the job, but was pleasantly surprised! Torrential downpours on day 1 did not seep through this poncho! Even more downpours on day 2 and I remained dry. Big enough to wear over the top of my fairly large backpack, and kept that dry too."

A third penned: "It saved the day. Bought it Thursday night for our visit to Brighton pride this weekend and so glad I did . We had the most atrocious weather and it kept me dry all day and night . Big enough for me and my rucksack underneath . Amazing value and comes in a little pouch . I has poppers down the sides that you can undo . I love it."

And for those sceptics amongst us who don't believe it's waterproof power, just read the plethora of reviews that claim otherwise: "Certainly waterproof", "definitely waterproof" and "fabulously dry on very rainy days." See here to buy the product from Amazon.
