• Rain ponchos tend to hang lower than your hips (which is where most jackets make their cutoff), and some cover down to your knees.
• Body-length protection from rain
• In most cases saves you from also needing rain pants.
• Ponchos often provide better ventilation than jackets
• The loose fit helps, as does zippered vents (under the arms or down the middle), which rain jackets sometimes have but not always.
• Many poncho models also protect your entire backpack and can be converted into a shelter, providing versatility with which jackets simply cannot compete.

• Tha ponchos uisge buailteach a bhith a' crochadh nas ìsle na do chromagan (sin far am bi a' mhòr-chuid de sheacaidean a' gearradh dheth), agus cuid a' còmhdach sìos gu do ghlùinean.
• Dìon fad bodhaig bhon uisge
• Anns a' mhòr-chuid de chùisean sàbhalaidh sin thu bho bhith feumach air pants uisge cuideachd.
• Gu tric bidh ponchos a 'toirt seachad fionnarachadh nas fheàrr na seacaidean
• Bidh an uidheamachadh sgaoilte a' cuideachadh, mar a tha fionnaichean zippered (fo na gàirdeanan no sìos am meadhan), a bhios aig seacaidean uisge uaireannan ach nach eil an-còmhnaidh.
• Bidh mòran de mhodalan poncho cuideachd a’ dìon do bhaga-droma gu lèir agus faodar a thionndadh gu bhith na fasgadh, a’ toirt seachad sùbailteachd leis nach urrainn dha seacaidean farpais a dhèanamh.
