Which Vaude do you guys have? I like my Vaude Valdipino <https://www.vaude.com/en-BE/Products/Clothing/Jackets/Valdipino-Poncho> for light rains but mine barely covers the bars (bosco bars) but has no elastic or anything to keep it there, so with the wind blowing around it often flips or slides up. I've tried using clothes pins to clamp it to the brake cables, but that's a pain in the butt and the poncho is then crooked and doesn't shed the rain as well.
My Sackville basket bag does great unless the rain is very heavy, at which times the rain shedding off the vaude dumps directly down onto it, and the water eventually soaks through. In those cases flipping it over the basket would seem good, but I hear Jason about the steering situations. Though I tend to ride cautiously, and even more cautiously during rain... Still on the fence about this thing but maybe I'll have to be the guinea pig. Being able to ride every day no matter the weather is pretty important to me so the investment seems worth it...
