Gotta love the military. Giving every day things longer names than they should have. lol.
Oooooh Goretex. Nice. Looking through Ebay now.

When I was in grade 6-9, I had something similar for cycling to the school in the rain.
Not nearly as good as a hard shell jacket, especially when tlit gets windy. still better than an umbrella (but I guess you won't go with that).
I still have that thing now, but I cut the hood part off to use the thing as a cover when cutting my hair.

I'm sure the mil name for it is some long stupid one, but that is not really what you asked for, and asking for a poncho at clothing will get you just that.

I would just get a hardshell jacket because I find slaves far more useful than a tarp.

Don't listen to these guys.

They don't want to share the awesome power of cape culture.

Love the German WW2 zeltbahn (shelter/poncho quarter), awesome piece of kit.
Few other countries followed suit

Gather 4, and you have a basic tent.
On it's own, small piece of cover, or a poncho, etc..

If you looking for waterproof there is the stealth suit. Its pricy though.

There is military rain coats as well that you can fit your gear over. Parka Wet Weather Field Type, CF, OG107 , 8405-21-907-9711. You can get pants as well but it goes swish swish and isn't that quiet. I carry that in my backpack for when it rains.

It is seriously worth every single penny though, probably one of my favorite pieces of kit in the field.
