You know those waterproof ponchos you can get, the ones that come in a little compact pouch, that’s a compressed file but when it rains you open the thing up (ie only when needed) and put it on.

When in the pouch is takes up a tiny amount of space in your bag – if you don’t compress it (ie scrunch it back up and stuff it in the pouch) and just shove it back in your bag as a poncho it takes up more room in your bag.
