When I go on a hike, 7 days or more, I always take my Altus full zip poncho. If condensation starts, when there's a rain lull, I just unzip and the inside rapidly dries.
I use a Ferrino poncho, full length. With lightweight rain pants to keep the bottom of my legs dry. There is a review of the poncho on my channel. From what you say, I use mine in the same way.
When I used to have rain pants, to get them on and off easily, I always carried a couple of Tesco plastic bags with me, I slipped my muddy boots into them then pushed them through the leggings. No wet or mud inside.
I assume your from the UK mentioning Tesco. These rain pants were purchased for the West highland way hike a few years ago now. Mainly for warmth, they worked out well as it was cold and wet most of the time. As I mentioned also extremely rugged material. The trick with the bags you mentioned is a great idea.
Nicely presented bud, pants looks great! 👌
Thanks for watching and commenting.

I can't stand hiking rain pants, such a faff to put on and off, I prefer a rain skirt. Mine was £10 from Amazon.
You have me thinking now. I have never thought of a rain skirt before. I am pretty happy with my poncho though.
