I just got my first bike poncho recently from a list member after being poncho curious for awhile. Its the yellow grundens variety that Rivendell used to sell but I do not think it is made anymore. It has served me very well in the few pours I've worn it in, along with fenders being crucial. When I was looking at purchasing a poncho new I was leaning towards the waxed canvas one made by Carradice as I try to avoid plastics and synthetics, the only downsides to it being a drab and dark color for urban riding, and potentially a little heavier. For my basket I've just used my sackville shop sack, and haven't had anything too important in the bag. Water definitely gets in the zipper opening. I've thought a shop sack combined with a smaller backpack style rain cover over the top like a shower cap would be a good combo for keeping things dry.
