The Trekmates TOUR hiking raincoat is a simple rectangular poncho with velcro fastening on the sides. The advantage of this closure is that the back can be folded over the backpack as needed. Thanks to its simple construction, this poncho is very light and small when packed, so it does not take up much space in your backpack. When fully unfolded, it can be used as a car mattress pad.

Why is it beneficial to get a poncho instead of a waterproof jacket? Each of them has its advantages and disadvantages, but the poncho has several advantages:

• it is very light and packable, so you can comfortably take it with you on every hike or trip
• it has larger dimensions, so you can usually hide a smaller backpack under it
• it hangs loosely down, so the water running off the jacket will only wet your shoes at most, while the jacket will run down your pants and if they are not waterproof, they will get wet and the water will run down to your shoes
