Waterproof Rain Ponchos for Trekking & Travel

Stay prepared for sudden rain with Gokyo waterproof ponchos, designed for trekking, backpacking, camping, travel & outdoor use. The collection includes the reusable Coorg backpack-friendly poncho for dependable rain protection and a lightweight disposable poncho for emergency use, giving you options for both planned wet-weather travel and unexpected showers.

Waterproof Ponchos for Trekking & Backpacking

A poncho provides broad rain coverage while remaining quick to put on when the weather changes. The Coorg Waterproof Backpack-Friendly Poncho uses 10,000 mm waterproof synthetic fabric with internally seam-taped construction. Its extended rear profile is designed to cover both the wearer and a loaded backpack, reducing the need for separate upper-body and backpack protection.

Lightweight Protection That Packs Small

At just 180 g, the Coorg poncho is designed to remain compact enough for a trekking backpack or daypack without adding unnecessary weight. It is useful for monsoon treks, backpacking, camping, biking, outdoor fieldwork & expedition support where dependable rain protection needs to remain easy to carry.

Disposable Ponchos for Emergency Rain

For situations where you need a simple backup rather than regular rainwear, the Disposable Emergency Rain Poncho provides immediate coverage during unexpected showers. Its compact, lightweight construction makes it easy to keep in a backpack, travel bag, car or emergency kit for treks, road trips, festivals, commutes & outdoor travel. It is designed for one-time use.

Choose the Right Poncho for Your Trip

Choose the reusable Coorg poncho when rain is expected and you need greater coverage for both yourself and your backpack. Keep the disposable poncho as a compact emergency option when rain is less predictable or when carrying full rainwear is impractical. Gokyo’s current poncho collection includes both options within the Explorer Series.

FAQs

Are ponchos good for trekking?
Yes. Ponchos are particularly useful when you need quick rain protection with broad coverage. A backpack-friendly design can also cover the pack while you are wearing it.

The Coorg Waterproof Poncho has an extended rear profile specifically designed to accommodate and protect a loaded backpack.

How waterproof is the Coorg poncho?

What is the difference between a rain poncho and a rain jacket?
