Poncho Villa
Jackets or ponchos? It’s a personal choice. With a backpack on I like a poncho because I can throw it over the back to protect my stuff. Driving on a scooter in Vietnam or Cambodia you will see many locals throw the front of the poncho over the top of the handlebars, keeping hands dry for driving.
Cheap $1 ponchos can be bought on many streets in asia as well as ponchos of this sort, but if you want to be prepared right off the place take a look at this quality rain poncho from Charles River.
