Be aware that if using a poncho, as opposed to a raincape, the rear flap of the poncho can blow up and over your head. I had that happen on tour in '74 while wearing a Boy Scout poncho, in traffic, on a bridge. Not fun.
I call a poncho something with open sides (formed from a rectangle draped over your head) while that Vaude item above looks more like a tailored raincape with no open sides.
