In Florida, its geographical location determines that it always belongs to a humid subtropical to hot rainforest climate, with ample sunlight during the day and a warm and humid climate. The southern region has a tropical climate, while the northern region has a subtropical climate. The annual average temperature is between 20 ℃ and 25 ℃. During the autumn and winter seasons, Florida becomes a vacation destination, and the entire state is relatively warm. Many birds come here for activities, making it a good time for deer and waterfowl hunting. Hunters are ready to prepare for their prey.
But before the hunting season arrives, the rainy season starts first. The rainy weather lasts from June to October, and the average annual rainfall can reach 1300 millimeters, concentrated in summer. The appearance of the "hurricane season" from June 1st to November 30th each year may cause severe weather conditions such as strong winds, heavy rainfall, and thunderstorms in the region. Especially from mid August to the end of September, hurricane activity is most frequent.
Therefore, choosing high-quality raincoats is particularly important. When traveling on rainy days, wearing a raincoat can effectively protect the body from rainwater invasion, block rainwater, and keep the body and clothing dry. Avoid the risk of colds and other health issues.
Hunters need to consider multiple factors when choosing a raincoat, such as the usage scenario, jungle crossing, or hunting photography. The colors attached to the raincoat should not be too bright, and should be as close to the color of the environment as possible to ensure sufficient camouflage. At the same time, it should be convenient to carry. Whether carrying hunting or photography equipment when going out will not be too easy. If the weight of the raincoat is too heavy or requires additional load, it will make the journey more difficult. Therefore, the raincoat is lightweight and easy to carry, and it does not take up too much backpack volume. Hunters often shuttle through the forest for outdoor activities. The disposable raincoat in the shape of a film is usually torn by branches, and the non degradable plastic can cause pollution to the environment. Therefore, the wear-resistant and tear resistant properties of a raincoat are more important. It is still necessary to use it repeatedly to reduce its impact on the environment, In line with the concept of environmental protection and sustainable development.
The color of Wal Mart's poncho usually does not match the color of the jungle, so I bought two different raincoats from LOOGU to evaluate, one is a rain poncho, and the other is a raincoat suit. I will go outdoors to test these two products in a wet and rainy weather. This article will introduce my experience and effect from the perspective of the poncho.
When the rain poncho was delivered to me, what surprised me was its packaging. It wasn't too bulky and looked very easy to carry, but it still had a certain weight, not too heavy or too light. The outer packaging of the rain poncho was still quite exquisite, with a zipper closure and a hand strap, which was convenient for me to fold and store after use. The hand strap was a good choice whether hung on a hook or directly lifted in the hand.
After opening the zipper, I found the details of the poncho. He had a zipper design on his chest, which solved the problem that the neck was too small to wear, and the neck was too large to get into the rain. After wearing it, adjust the zipper to the appropriate position, tighten the drawcord, and the rain would be difficult to flow into the chest, playing a very good protective effect.
Now let's take a look at his side. There is a large opening design on the side, with buttons and pull loops at the corners. Through the buttons, the hem of the sleeve can be tightened. At first, I didn't understand the purpose of the pull loop design, but soon, I understood that it can be pulled into a canopy through a rope. We will introduce it later.
As you can see, this rain poncho can be folded or unfolded and placed directly on the ground of the jungle. If you unfold and lay it flat, it can serve as a waterproof cloth or picnic mat, perfect for both rest and moisture resistance. Moreover, if folded in half, you get a waterproof sleeping bag shell! This feature is diverse, and how it is reflected depends on your scene.
By using a rain poncho, it is very convenient to build a slanted shelter. Simply pull the two sides of the rain poncho with ropes through the pull rings, insert branches into the holes on the other sides, and fix it on the ground. A slanted shelter can be built, and if necessary, it can also be modified into a canopy above the head on rainy days.
If in some very emergency situations, you can even tie a thread directly to the rain cap and hang it on a tree branch, which is the simplest ceiling style shelter. With your sleeping bag, you can use it urgently in some scenarios. Although it is not comfortable, it can at least keep you away from dampness and wind and snow.A multifunctional rain poncho is always better than a single raincoat, the only regret is. This rain poncho needs to be paired with water shoes, otherwise the pants may become damp in strong wind and rain. I will introduce the user experience of the LOOGU rain suit in the next article.
