The Rains Came, but You Stayed Dry as a Bone

A vinyl rain poncho isn’t just for kids. The next time you get stuck in a monsoon at a baseball game or find yourself soaking wet in a downpour far from home with nothing to cover you but that white t-shirt that has now become see-through, you are going to wish that you had been more prepared. Even on a hot, sun-drenched day, you just never know when a thunderstorm may blow in. I am privy to this, because I was a victim of a freak storm last week. At a major league ballpark on a sunny, 90+ degree day, I had no idea there would be a sneaky rainstorm brewing on the horizon. I had packed sunscreen and bottled water, but no umbrella and no storm protection. So, it was quite humorous to be stuck, packed like a sardine with thousands of other baseball fans on a concourse, looking at each other as if to say, “Yes, I forgot my rain gear, too.” Don’t get caught soaked. Always be prepared with your vinyl rain ponchos in adult size and rain ponchos for kids to keep the young folks dry. Another nice thing about the ponchos is that they fold up conveniently into their own drawstring bags.
