A newly redesigned model of the popular poncho that will protect not only your entire body from rain but also your large backpack. The neck closure features a sturdier bone zipper, and when opened, the neck area is more spacious. This makes it easier to put on and enhances overall comfort. The newly used polyester is less noisy, so you won't startle wildlife and will be able to hear your friend. As with the previous version, there is ample space on the back for a backpack, which, when not in use, is folded and secured with a zipper, so there's no excess material. The universal size and a length of 124 cm ensure you are perfectly protected from rain, and the water running off won't drip onto your pants.

Why is it advantageous to get a poncho instead of a waterproof jacket? Each has its pros and cons, but a poncho has several advantages:

• it's inexpensive
• it's very light and packable, making it worthwhile to take on every hike or outing
• it has larger dimensions, so you can usually fit a smaller backpack underneath it
• it hangs freely, so any water running off will at most wet your shoes, whereas water runs down a jacket onto your pants, and if they aren't waterproof, they'll get wet and the water will run into your boots
