    Poncho vs. Rain Jacket and Pants

    Like I said, an umbrella is pretty much essential in tropical conditions

    Poncho vs. Rain Jacket and Pants

    Yes obviously if you go much off piste. But usually you're on a path... The problem with the other solutions is they really don't allow you to continue birding in a downpour. They also don't protect as well in really heavy rain. In those circs you won't be walking around much anyway

    Not necessary for something so expensive, and this looks a bit small. Basically, get the largest possible which still folds relatively compactly. Around £10

    Poncho vs. Rain Jacket and Pants

    Umbrella is invaluable. Bigger the better. Difficult to bird in "proper" rain forest without one.
