cagoule

Lightweight waterproof pullover

A cagoule is a lightweight, hooded waterproof jacket, typically pullover-style and designed to fold into a compact pouch for easy carrying.

The term is primarily British: Pack a cagoule in case it rains.

Cagoules became popular with hikers and schoolchildren as basic rain protection, though the word now sounds somewhat dated.
