Traveling to a non-Mediterranean climate this summer? Be prepared for summer showers with the LiteGear Kompressor Poncho, designed to keep you dry in a mountain downpour but chic enough for a rainy uptown city walk. Made of durable ripstop nylon, the lightweight, hooded poncho folds up to the size of a tablet computer and stows into its own built-in fanny pack, which can be worn around your waist or across your body (the pack has a front zipper pocket that can hold small items). The one-size-fits-all poncho is waterproof and breathable, and offers taped seams, a double placket front zipper and three adjustability points on the hood. It also doubles as a ground cover. Total weight: 1 pound. Comes in Slate Gray or Mallard Green. $34.95, litegearbags.com.
