[RBW] Re: Knickers, morphed to Rain Gear

It is raining again... or maybe still,,. here in N. VT this morning.
I have a very nice Showers Pass rain jacket, but it's only wearable
below 65.  I'm considering a rain cape.  Can anyone suggest a good,
breathable rain jacket that works in warmer weather?

 This is a modern version of the much beloved Greenspot jacket often
 worn by the CTC set.  Obviously not cheap, but as the saying goes...
 (You get what you pay for..).

  Look under breeks and in special instructions
  specify they are for cycling.

I should add that none of these is made from breathable fabric like
Gortex; the one that ought to be most breathable, the waxed cotton
canvas Ducksback, was the hottest of the three because the heaviest.
You get your ventilation from below -- that's one of the main points
of a cape.

 I've used the Ducksback, the Pro Route and (currently) the cheap
 Campmor and I must say that, for warmer temps, the Campmore is more
 bearable than the other, heavier ones. It does blow around a bit more
 because of its light weight, and the thigh loops are annoying
 alternatives to waist straps, but it works. (We do get the occasional
 shower here in ABQ; the Campmor kept me dry from neck to knees once in
 a half hour ride against a howling 3/4 headwind blowing a SW downpour
 that filled our access road 2' deep in an hour.
