You can buy a case of 15 Ponchos on Amazon for the price of 2 on the park. A reusable water bottle is great for the free ice water. A good park bag is a lifesaver. I have this and it's been to the parks with me 6 times. It's so comfortable a usually don't notice it. I'm a guy, and people can mock the "Murse" all they want, until they need Moleskin or sunscreen.
