Quite simply, the primary difference between a rain poncho and a rain jacket is going to be the fit. Where rain jackets contour to your body as you would expect from any jacket, ponchos take a drape-it-over-everything approach to rain protection. The fit benefits hikers in many ways — to the degree that some of you may be surprised — and of course, there are some drawbacks.
• 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.
• Rain ponchos, when compared to jackets, are typically made from thinner, less durable materials, so keep an eye out for trailside thorns and twigs. This is due to the fast and light idea of a rain poncho, and because if it was made of thicker fabric it would be a much heavier item in your pack, given how much more fabric a poncho has than a jacket.
• If you’re into style — in any way shape or form — a poncho may cramp it. Jackets are form-fitting. Ponchos are not.
If you need to bug out or pack light, then you’ll want to embrace any gear that can serve multiple uses.

Mwachidule, kusiyana kwakukulu pakati pa poncho yamvula ndi jekete lamvula kudzakhala koyenera. Kumene ma jekete amvula amazungulira thupi lanu monga momwe mungayembekezere kuchokera ku jekete iliyonse, ma poncho amatenga njira yodzitetezera ku mvula. Kuyenerera kumapindulitsa oyendayenda m'njira zambiri - mpaka momwe ena a inu mungadabwe - ndipo, ndithudi, pali zovuta zina.
