Poncho - pack down size

[Halsteragain]

I've just tried on my (fetching) poncho from Flying Tiger and packed it away again - it is now enormous and fills my bumbag. Are all ponchos like that? We are going in July so need to prepare for rain. What do others do? I want to avoid the thin disposal ones (have tried before and not worked for us).

Oh if anyone has some sort off amazing hack to packing them away as small as they come packaged then I am all ears!

Buy a small back pack, bum bags are not for reusable ponchos, unless you are good at origami.

But I want to use my bumbag! <wails>

I got a Minnie mouse bum bag for going, wore it on day 1 for animal kingdom with a pair of coloured shorts and with the heat and the bum bag ended up with a not so nice sweat patch around the bum bag on my shorts, didn't wear the bum bag again :-(

Is it a plastic poncho or fabric.

It’s quite hard to refold a poncho but it’s not impossible. Easier with two people sort of like folding a sheet. Pull it out straight and fold it very neatly.

The last time we went we each had a poncho in a key ring pouch which we attached to belt loops. Then I bought a fold up ruck sack that fitted in back pocket. If it rained we then used rucksack to store them. Once back at villa I dried them out and was able to fold back into their pouches... I’m a guide 🤣🤣🤣 my reason is I wanted to miss out the bag check line

Combat shorts, never had a problem flat packing the ponchos n putting one either side in the shorts pockets. Take a couple of freezer bags to pack them in when wet then slip them in your pockets - simples!

We also keep them in a freezer bag, put it in, sit on the bag and seal it, ends up like it’s vacuum packed and doesn’t take much space.

Great tips everyone! Thank you.
