Thanks to Ponchario for sending this product in exchange for a review. All thoughts are my own.

As a church youth leader, I often get invited to outdoor events where the weather might turn iffy. During the fall and spring, this is especially true for outdoor games, concerts, and parties. 

If you are a mom that spends time on the sidelines at football, baseball, or soccer practices or hangs out in the stadium seating during tournament season, then the Ponchairo® is definitely for you!

I have this vivid memory of attending a championship football game with some friends a few years ago in November. Halfway through the game, it started to drizzle (and it was COLD). We all ended up with wet pant legs, wet socks, and most of us had colds a week later. 

The Ponchairo® sure would have been handy during that game as it has a fleece lining but an outer waterproof protection with its DINTEX fabric. 

Dintex is waterproof, windproof, and breathable; allowing your skin/ body to breathe during rain, snow, and the like. 

Design to be both a blanket and poncho, this wearable blanket protects moms from the elements AND keeps them warm. 

The best part about the Ponchairo®, at least for me, is that it can be worn sitting and standing! No more cold legs, falling blankets, etc! 

It has pockets, snaps into it's bag, and comes with a small pouch. The blanket is foldable into a stay with your chair pouch that slips on most stadium seats & folding chairs. 

The ponchario also snaps together so that if you need to stand, you have protection around most of your body, depending on your height and body shape. Be sure to re-snap it to it's pouch before next use so it's ready to go (and it is easier to fold up when you do so). 

Unlike traditional ponchos, there is a zipper that allows quick access for pockets and cell phone usage. I have a phone that dislikes the rain. The rain pellets make it difficult to use the touch screen, so this feature will definitely come in handy for me! 

The Ponchairo® has a standard size and an extra wide size that might even be compatible with your wheelchair (you will need to look at the measurements to determine this). 

Keeping your Ponchairo® clean is easy, too. While you can fold up the Ponchairo® after a game or event; it's recommended to let it dry before long-term storage. Ponchairo® is machine washable. Cold. Gentle cycle. Like colors. No bleach. Avoid fabric softeners. Line dry. 

While it's becoming too warm to utilize the Ponchairo® here in Wilmington, I can't wait to have it for future events! I am planning on taking it with me next weekend when I head up to the mountains, where it's still relatively cool. 

Also, I know I'll have a lot of use for it in the future with sports, outdoor concerts, beach & pool gatherings, and even cookout/ bonfire season!

While it's waterproof and geared towards stormy/rainy weather, it might make a great gift for people who love the water and hang out on docks, boats, and at the beach too! We often have cooler winds, sometimes even in the summer, so it might be handy to have on the back of your beach or lawn chair. 

This Mother's Day, grab a Ponchairo® for a great gift for your active mom who lives to watch their kids & grandkids at sporting events, who loves to go out with friends to evening concerts, and who just generally might appreciate a poncho blanket! 

Want it? Get it!
