kagoules
Lightweight waterproof shells
Kagoules, also spelled cagoules, are lightweight waterproof jackets, typically with hoods and often designed to be pulled over the head rather than zipped up the front.
The term is primarily British and evokes the simple, practical rain gear commonly worn by hikers, schoolchildren, and anyone caught in drizzly weather.
Don't forget your kagoule—it's meant to rain all afternoon.
The garment packs down small, making it easy to carry in a bag until needed.
