@Luke - Right now I use a Cleverhood because I already have it. I probably wouldn't buy it again because they're so pricey and a bit over-engineered (tech-fabric, and magnetic arm holes).
If I were looking for a replacement, I'd look at the Carradice waxed canvas, or the Blue Lug Fairweather Poncho first. But I wish they came in high viz colors/designs. https://global.bluelug.com/fairweather-packable-rain-poncho-algae-green.html @Carlos and @Patrick - http://yehudamoon.com/comic/2010-04-25/ [image: yehuda.gif] On Thursday, March 9, 2023 at 9:01:40 AM UTC-8 Patrick Moore wrote: > I can assure you that water pools in the valley between your arms when > riding hoods on drop bars.
