Poncho is a great mom's choice. Just bring your poncho and bum off your friend for light rain. :) Sounds like fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/umbrella-or-poncho#post-2603172 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 10:10:02 +0000 Mamaof2 2603172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@808love: @peachykeen: thanks - this is super early planning on my part - a friend and I are taking a trip next Summer and she sent me her packing list (she travels a lot) and she said she carries a small umbrella with her but I was thinking a throw away poncho might be better since it would cover the entire backpack and my hands would be free</p> <p>eta; no kids </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/umbrella-or-poncho#post-2603139 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 09:31:16 +0000 808love 2603139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you expect a lot of rain or intermittent? If you are not sure it will rain, ponchos are easy to pack and you are hands free. IF you are with kids they will stay drier in a poncho or raincoat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/umbrella-or-poncho#post-2603132 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 09:24:08 +0000 peachykeen 2603132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unless I'm in a tropical country during rainy season I always prefer a small umbrella. I just hate the feeling of ponchos, especially when they get wet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/umbrella-or-poncho#post-2603126 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 09:14:34 +0000 808love 2603126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>poncho. I don't like the look but can't beat the convenience. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/umbrella-or-poncho#post-2603115 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 09:03:39 +0000 Mamaof2 2603115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>if you were traveling and doing lots of outings would you carry a small umbrella or a poncho with you? </p>
