The Full Story
The Tamar Overhead is designed to be your steadfast companion during wet weather wandering. Embrace a slower pace of exploring while keeping your on-the-go essentials close to hand and visible through the viewing window. The green colour palette and low fabric noise allow you to seamlessly blend into the woodland or rural environment. Ideal for hobbies like bird watching or nature photography.
The waterproof detachable viewing pouch is perfect for storing your OS map, guidebook, note pad, and other essential belongings that you need to keep close to hand, but out of wet weather. Simply lift the viewing pouch up to allow you to view inside, ideal for checking directions while on the move. Underneath the pouch is a large drop pocket with a secure zip that the viewing pouch can be stored in when not in use. There is also another internal pocket inside the drop pocket.
Two large side zips that can open from the top and bottom offer effortless pullover wear, provide convenient venting options, and create easy accessibility even while wearing a rucksack with a front strap. The brushed tricot inside the front panel provides a comfortable resting place for your hands when the wind or rain picks up, and the rear vent provides extra airflow when you need it.
When your adventure ends, easily store and carry the pullover by converting it into a shoulder bag complete with a shoulder strap for effortless adaptability. The shoulder bag also features a zipped pocket with internal compartments.

I was surprised at how useful the poncho turned into bag is. I could fit in essentials into the front pocket and it was comfortable to carry. I did think the shoulder strap and waterproof pouch were items that could have been left out and reduced the price of the garment slightly - but I'm smitten. The garment, size Small fits me perfectly, even with a hefty sweater or padded jacket underneath. I'm 5ft tall and normally a size 12. The salesman in the Rohan store was amazing - he has this poncho too - and gave me tips for storage, keeping it waterproof etc.Was this review helpful?5 months agoTamar Overhead Waterproof Poncho Park GreenJust like Carol B below, I dithered over this garment. It's long on my 5' 2" frame and I'm at an age where the map pocket will not be used much. But at last, I decided to keep it and I wore it on a particularly wet day in Scotland. What a fab bit of kit. Silky smooth material and so light. Completely waterproof. As a vet and farmer, I'm used to wearing a jacket and waterproof trousers combo - cos I hate the cold, wet knees syndrome. This negated that problem - I was wearing my wellies and although there was a gap between the two, the torrential rain seemed to be shed off. I spent the entire 2 hours exploring the many zips and access points. The hood suited me perfectly since I hate hats - it can be set like a cap sitting lightly on the head and kept me and my Bose over-ear headphones dry. Brilliant.3 people found this review helpful.Was this review helpful?7 months agoTamar Overhead Waterproof Poncho Park GreenDithered a lot about buying this. Feared it would be too much of a faff to get on and off, and too cumbersome. Eventually bought it in the sale, but didn’t wear it until today when a full day’s rain was forecast. It turned out to be surprisingly light and gave very good coverage, no rain dripping onto legs as from shorter anoraks. Found the hood mechanism a bit clunky as tightening it caused it to ride up the head. However, I was dry, didn’t feel over-enclosed, and the ventilation was very good. Will be wearing it much more!1 person found this review helpful.Was this review helpful?8 months agoTamar Overhead Waterproof Poncho Park GreenExcellent for those unexpected rainy moments. Easy to pack away and carry when not needed. Great being able to use it as a bag when not in use as a coat. A fantastic garmentWas this review helpful?8 months agoTamar Overhead Waterproof Poncho Park GreenBought this for my wife and she is delighted with it. We live in the country and she has been looking for a waterproof that is easy to carry and has great waterproof standards. This waterproof meets all criteria. Great product.Was this review helpful?8 months agoTamar Overhead Waterproof Poncho Park GreenThis is my perfect raincoat for long distance trail walking. We walk in winter here in Western Australia. It rains, it doesn't snow. When it rains, it really rains. This raincoat keeps me dry and cool. I love it to bits. It's the perfect coat for this climate. The perfect coat for the 1000km Bibbulmun track. So happy to have found it.1 person found this review helpful.Was this review helpful?8 months agoTamar Overhead Waterproof Poncho Park GreenSizing is all over the place. The arms are huge! I like the design and colour but that's it. I decided to return immediately. Despite saying free returns via Royal Mail on the invoice, I was directed to a page where I had to pay for a YODEL return. However, the thing that annoys me the most about this is this so called £200 waterproof is now on sale for £79.20. This reminded me how I vowed a couple of yearsago never to buy from Rohan again because within hours of purchasing something it's reduced. I definitely will not purchase from Rohan again.2 people found this review helpful.Was this review helpful?8 months agoTamar Overhead Waterproof Poncho Park GreenSo pleased. Great length and nice and light to put in a rucksack. I so prefer a cagoule as a waterproof.Was this review helpful?10 months agoTamar Overhead Waterproof Poncho Park GreenI have been hoping for a long time that Rohan would produce a lightweight longer waterproof for the warmer months (the Kendal and before that the Hilltop jackets are great for the colder months). This is it. I walked for an hour in heavy rain, and it kept out the rain perfectly, while being very comfortable to wear. It has many unique design features. The detachable map case is one; another is the side zips, which make it easy to access pockets, and (as the sales assistant told me) to walk uphill; I also felt cooler when I opened them. This is a great and distinctive product, and I am looking forward to using it in future.2 people found this review helpful.Was this review helpful?11 months agoTamar Overhead Waterproof Poncho Park GreenArrived when stated.

2.5-Layer Barricade
The Barricade standard gives you reassurance of a high level of waterproof protection. All of our waterproofs must meet our Barricade Standard to be ten times the British standard for waterproofing.
The water-repellent outer fabric and the PU hydrophilic membrane are bonded together and then protected by a print to be very lightweight. This added 0.5 layer helps to keep you comfortable and the membrane protected.
