No need to cut the front. In this photo it was really warm and the rain was fairly light and off and on every few minutes. We covered our packs and rather than putting our head through the hole into the hood we just put it around the back of our neck. This kept our shirts/torso dry enough and we used our hats to keep our head and glasses dry. If the rain got heavier it was a quick adjustment to go to full poncho mode.

Last weekend I encountered another light rain for about 10 minutes at a time. I simply used my poncho partially folded and draped over my shoulders much like you would a towel after getting out of the shower. When the real heavy rain started I went to full poncho mode and was dry the entire two hours except from my knees on down.
