I've always been partial to rain capes because you don't overheat in them and they are quick to shed. I hate it when I end up wet from sweat in an attempt to stay dry. Many years ago capes were still popular (still are in England I think). Bike rain capes come with thumb straps to keep the cape from coming up over your head and a waist or rear strap to keep the back from flapping over your head.
I use my rain cape here in Brazil a lot and the only advice I have is to also have really good fenders or you'll still get wet from wheel spray - in my case here in Brazil that includes a lot of animal "products" (many wandering cows/donkeys). The last time I looked for capes I could only find the following from Campmor: http://www.campmor.com/outdoor/gear/Product___50258 MattB http://picasaweb.google.com/mberigan/Brazil_bikes On Fri, Jul 23, 2010 at 3:21 PM, Paddy Rourke <[email protected]> wrote: > You all were so helpful when I asked about winter cycling clothing awhile > back. > > My current raingear pretty much bites. > > I yield to your collective wisdom on good raingear. > > I need raingear that just covers my usual clothing - I don't like/want to > completely change outfits. > > Any ideas? > > Thanks in advance, > > Paddy Rourke > > ‹(•¿•)› > _______________________________________________ > Bikies mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.danenet.org/listinfo.cgi/bikies-danenet.org >
