Abstract:

The present invention provides a unitary moisture-absorbing and element-protective article that includes a poncho-shaped sheet and hood nondetachably connected to the sheet. The poncho-shaped sheet includes at least one layer, and has an opening that permits the head and neck of the person wearing the article to extend therethrough. The sheet is drapable over the wearer in a standing position, and rests on the shoulders. The hood is shaped to cover the head, neck and hair of the person when positioned thereon. When not worn, an important attribute of the article is that it may be opened to a flat covering that, when disposed upon the surface of the ground, is suitable for a person to recline thereon. The invention further provides methods of removing water from the head, neck, body, and/or the hair of a person, of shielding the body of a person from exposure to the elements, and of preventing direct contact of the body of a person with a surface of the ground that includes disposing the article of the invention on the surface.
