If you're heading to the Glastonbury Festival in a couple of weeks, you'll no doubt be avidly checking the weather forecast - and one essential you'll need to pack is a good raincoat in case of any unexpected downpours.

Thankfully, Amazon has one particular rain poncho that has been hailed as a 'godsend' for festivals and outdoor gigs, and will set you back less than £10.

The GUKOY Rain Poncho comes in a pack of two, and is available in various colours, from black, white, and grey, to more fun festival colour options such as pink, purple, and yellow.

And now, with just two weeks to go until Glastonbury kicks off, the poncho has been reduced in price in almost every colour, and you can buy it now for as little as £6.99, for the grey colour option. If you're after a more colourful option, you can opt for the pink poncho for £9.59, or the yellow for £9.99.

The GUKOY poncho is crafted from a durable, tear-proof and waterproof, eco-friendly material, and is designed to be travel-friendly and ideal for outdoor activities, whether it's camping, hiking, theme parks - or going to festivals or outdoor concerts.

It is extremely lightweight, measuring just 0.15mm thick, to keep you dry without overheating in a muggy summer downpour. The poncho also folds up easily, and can be carried in a backpack or even your hoodie pocket without feeling bulky or taking up too much space.

The quick-drying poncho features a full-adjustable drawstring hood to protect your head and neck from the elements, and falls at 150cm, or 59 inches, long, with a sleeve length of 79cm (31 inches) - meaning it gives you plenty of coverage to prevent most of your body from getting wet.

It is easily fastened with poppers down the front, and the hemmed wide cuffs allow for easy movement, and can easily be rolled up if the sleeves fall too long on you. The ponchos are unisex, with a one-size-fits-most fit, making it perfect for men and women of any age and stature.

Amazon shoppers have given the GUKOY poncho an average rating of 4.2 stars out of five, from more than 870 reviews.

One customer said: "Perfect saviour for a 5-day festival with pouring rain and mud. Hood and buttons are super handy, pack of two was a great idea, easy to fold away and wash, and kept us dry."

Another added: "Wore this to a Bruce Springsteen concert and it rained hard and heavy. This kept me dry, and I like it because you can still see your outfit! Great for concerts and festivals, folds small so fits in your bag too."

A third said: "Took these to the British Grand Prix as we know what the weather at Silverstone can be like, and they were a godsend with the heavy rain. Kept us dry during the heavy downpours, and folded up well for carrying around. Great value for money and durable, so can be used again."

And a fourth buyer commented: "Used for a festival, managed to only need to use one for the three days and it's still got some life in it. A few snags, but I would still be able to use it again. Was super lightweight but kept me dry.

"Very long on me, definitely below knee (5ft7), but in the mud that was a benefit. Strong enough fabric that I was able to tie around my waist when not in use, or fold small enough to fit in the pocket of my hoodie."

However, not everyone felt the ponchos were comfortable, as one shopper said: "It does its job by keeping you from getting wet, but you sweat so much inside that you're wet anyway. In addition, the buttons also open by themselves from time to time."

And another noted: "Okay for ladies, but not wearable for men with shoulder muscles."

Another option from Amazon to prepare you for a rainy Glastonbury Festival is the Style It Up Hooded Raincoat Kagool Jacket, available in seven different colourways for £11.99 - which has the added benefit of handy side pockets.

Or elsewhere, Roman has the Rain Resistant Hooded Jacket, which is currently 45% off, down from £55 to just £30, in either black or pink. And New Look has cut the price of the Unlined Hooded Raincoat from £39.99 to £25.
