The lightweight, thermal Badger Outdoor rain poncho is exactly what I was looking for. Super small when folded, with a large hood. Priced well, which is also an extra advantage.
Badger Outdoor Survival Ultralight Poncho
A survival thermal poncho constitutes a crucial component of every survival kit. Due to its versatile design, it serves well during hiking, outdoor adventures, rescue operations, and within uniformed services. The NRC poncho is engineered to shield the body from sudden heat loss and adverse weather elements, including wind and rain.
Double-sided metallized, waterproof film
Crafted from durable, waterproof plastic, the surface deflects up to 90 percent of heat, effectively shielding the body from temperature loss. Featuring metallization on both sides in silver and orange, the highly reflective design enhances visibility in the outdoors, making it easier to locate injured individuals.
Large hood, armholes
Measuring 130 x 98 cm when fully spread out, the poncho features arm openings with a width of 42 cm and includes a spacious hood. Once packed down, it remains highly compact, making it easy to store in a backpack compartment or a jacket pocket.
Set elements
The kit comes equipped with a drawstring carry bag and an emergency whistle.

Application and activity examples
Survival and bushcraft: Serves as a makeshift shelter to shield you from wind, rain, and low temperatures. The reflective surface is ideal for signaling distress by catching and reflecting light as an SOS signal.
Trekking and Mountaineering: Provides warmth during cold nights in the tent and offers insulation against the damp, cold ground when taking breaks on the trail.
Bivouac and camping: Functions effectively as an insulating liner for a hammock, an added layer on top of a sleeping bag, a picnic blanket, or as ground insulation in a tent, protecting against cold and moisture from the terrain.
Rescue and Uniformed Services: Essential in emergencies, enabling you to efficiently prevent hypothermia while awaiting rescue. The reflective material facilitates locating individuals in need, particularly in challenging terrain or when visibility is reduced.

A lightweight, compact coat with a huge number of possible uses. It seems durable. Takes up little space in a backpack. Equipped with a bright orange cover with an attached whistle. Worth having just in case.
-
So far, there has been no need to use it, and let's hope it stays that way. Bought to keep in the car trunk in case it's ever needed, for example, to change a tire in the rain. The aim was for the smallest possible package, and it is packed perfectly. Once unfolded, it's probably impossible to pack it again the same way, but you can't have it all. Product gets 5*.
-
I haven't used it in the rain yet, but I must praise its compactness. It easily fits into a backpack and doesn't take up much space. You can even put it in a waist bag or a trouser pocket. For this reason, very much a plus.
-
It's definitely worth having during tourist trips or as a backup while traveling. It doesn't take up much space and also doesn't weigh much, it will definitely come in handy.
-
Small, light, and it could save your skin.
-
A useful thing. It's good to have it with you.
-
A much better solution than an ordinary blanket.
-
A useful gadget for a mountain trip.
