So which would I choose for my next trip? That entirely depends on the situation. T he shell and the poncho have different pros and cons. If cold is a factor, I would want the shell. Warm weather—give me the poncho. Waterproof ponchos are often used at events and places like theme parks to slip over your regular clothes and offer as much weather protection as possible. These are often the disposable type of ponchos that are typically single-use and only cost a dollar or two. Our list of the best rain ponchos only looks at ponchos that can be used for hiking and other wilderness adventures.

If you are staying in private accommodations in late October-March,for sure,you will have sufficient heating to dry out your clothes and shoes.The industry standard for inexpensive rain gear, in poncho form: Cheap, lightweight, and reliable, from a brand you know and trust. See Review That’s because the Saphirose includes a list of thoughtful bike-specific features in its design. For instance, you’ll find elastic loops at the end of each sleeve, which are designed to slide over your fingers to keep the poncho in place as you move. Looking underneath this rain poncho, you’ll also notice a pair of pinch clamps attached to elasticated lines, which are designed to clamp onto your handlebar controls to keep the front of the poncho anchored to the bike as you pedal. We also love the simple yet effective snaps on both sides of the Ultra-Lite2. If you’re in a serious storm with rain-blown wind, these snaps allow you to snug the poncho up at your sides and armpits, providing the most secure barrier possible. When you’re in a lighter rain or scattered showers, you can leave as many snaps undone as you want for maximum ventilation.
