The Honcho Poncho may look like a sleeping bag poncho. However, you use it a little differently, and it has some distinct advantages over a sleeping bag onesie. Below, we look at the pros and cons. All hydrophobic down treatments wash out over time, and washing is hard on all down. Extend the life of your bag by spot cleaning with a damp sponge, and only machine washing when necessary. Ask a friend to take your measurements while standing in a straight and relaxed position without shoes. Remember that the tape measure should not be pulled too tight around the body but not be too loose either. Therefore, it makes a better option for outdoor sporting events, hiking and other activities where you move around more or need something more versatile. Plus, the water-resistant and breathable outer shell help keep you comfortable, no matter what the weather brings. I think the most popular, and honestly, the most valid question you may be asking yourself.. How much am I realistically going to use a down poncho?My biggest con is size; for wider individual it could be an issue. Not height wise as it is 79” long, but it is rather narrow at 27.5” If you have wide shoulders or are just a big individual, it may be too small. For myself, length wise it fits fine but width wise, it is at the point of being uncomfortable. I have a shoulder diameter of 48” and if you are any larger than that, it will be too tight.
