• 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.

• Yomg'irli ponchoslar odatda dumbalaringizdan pastroq osilib turadi (ko'pchilik kurtkalar shu yerda), ba'zilari esa tizzalargacha qoplanadi.
• Tana uzunligini yomg'irdan himoya qilish
• Aksariyat hollarda sizni yomg'irli shim kiyishdan ham qutqaradi.
• Poncholar ko'pincha kurtkalarga qaraganda yaxshiroq shamollatish imkonini beradi
• Yomg'ir ko'ylagi ba'zan, lekin har doim ham emas, fermuarli teshiklari (qo'ltiq ostida yoki o'rtada) kabi bo'sh joy yordam beradi.
• Ko'pgina poncho modellari ham butun xaltangizni himoya qiladi va ularni boshpanaga aylantirish mumkin, bu ko'p qirralilikni ta'minlaydi, ular bilan kurtkalar shunchaki raqobatlasha olmaydi.
