None of the ones I mentioned are. They are really intended for hot weather, water-proofs even the breathable ones and kind of sweaty under those conditions.
For awhile now I have been carrying one of those cheap disposable plastic
ponchos for emergencies. It fits in a pocket or the camera bag, cost 89 cents
at wal-mart. I don't even bother trying to refold it, just toss and replace. Of
course since I started carrying it I have not gotten caught out in a downpour
again, I don't worry much about just a drizzle in the summer.

A Safari or Bush Jacket was the preferred wear for Foreign
Correspondents (with a shirt and tie they would let you into the
club wearing one) fthe Cabelas does new.
Filson makes one too, but it like the old British Military ones
is quite heavy duty, designed to stand up to thornbush. It costs
a lot also, $175 last time I checked. It is the one to have if
you are going to be in the bush for 6 months at a time.
