You wont be able to fold it to fit in a cigarette-size package but it can be done.

When I was a kid, my dad found one of these in my wallet..no..wait; that was something else entirely.

Somehow I have this vague memory suddenly pop up after decades being lost, of being in Army
training in the early 1970s. Some black NCO with a lively sense of humor was telling us trainees
what I reconstruct as: “No, no, no, no. A rain poncho isn’t supposed to keep the water out. It’s to
keep the water in so you stay wet.” Had that right. Cheers — MrG / http://gvgpd.proboards…..

The problem was that you could normally only use it once. The plastic was so thin that it’d tear just from someone walking in it.

Which was handy if a shower threatened and you were wearing satin (water + satin = completely ruined forever), but otherwise it was cheaper to just bring a coat with you or, alternatively, get wet.

Years ago I had one with me on a concert. I was very happy about it, because it started to rain, when the concert begins.
