rain poncho

Hooded weather wrap

A rain poncho is a waterproof outer garment designed to keep the wearer dry, typically a single piece of material with a hole for the head and no sleeves.

Unlike rain jackets, ponchos drape loosely over the body and often extend to cover backpacks or bags.

They're popular for hiking, festivals, and emergencies because they fold into compact packets: I always keep a rain poncho in my daypack.
