I use a Vaude rain poncho that I got pretty cheap on amazon on the cold and rainy days. It works great!
A few notes on my set-up: -I added a rear eyelet on the bottom edge of the rear. The eyelet is reinforced with some fabric repair tape tape. I put some elastic cord with a small carabiner through the eyelet, and the carabiner clips to my saddle rail. My cape is on the small side, and this keeps it from riding up my back. -It has elastic wrist straps on the front, and I attach these direct to my bar with velcro straps or simply hook them to my brake hoods if I have drop bars. This keeps the cape draped over my bars and hands, and let's me change hand positions freely under the cape. -I don't use the hood. I just tuck inside the poncho On Friday, November 10, 2017 at 7:42:33 AM UTC-5, WETH wrote: > > The group has come through as usual.
