kagoule

Lightweight waterproof pullover

A kagoule is a lightweight, hooded, waterproof jacket, typically pulled on over the head rather than zipped.

The word is British, borrowed from French.

Kagoules are thin enough to fold into a pocket or small bag, making them useful for unpredictable weather: Pack a kagoule in case it rains.

Also spelled cagoule.
