Re: [RBW] Re: Rain Cape Recommendation

[Ahmed Elgasseir]

I also have a cleverhood and love it. Built in reflective lines for night
visibility and nice style as well. Covers me, my legs, and the bike, if
needed. Has thumb loops to keep it on/covering your hands and it also has
magnetic closure arm holes for walking around, etc. Solid product and I use
it everyone it rains on my daily commute.

Re: [RBW] Re: Rain Cape Recommendation

Hi! 

I have the Agu Rain Poncho and love it, but I rarely bike in the rain. Impulse 
buy in the Netherlands, wish I bought a brighter color than black though. 

https://agu.com/eu/grant-poncho-essential


I’m only issue seeing the cleverhood is that does it fully cover your 
knees/legs? The Agu covers everything including the bike.

Re: [RBW] Re: Rain Cape Recommendation

[Benjamin L. Kelley]

I have a Cleverhood regular/original? I won in a give away years back.
Waterproofing is great.  Mine is DWR coated ripstop multicam with red
accents.  (Not my first choice but it was what was in the giveaway).
Zippers are waterproof. Has plenty of reflective accents.
Has some condensation/heat build up issues when using it in the hot summer
here in KC and in NYC.  But did well for winter/spring commuting in NYC on
top of my insulative layers.
Definitely need fenders and maybe rain pants/gaiters depending on how bad
of drainage your riding area has.  I was commuting over/ along the East
River, so the wind off the river made rain pants necessary otherwise my
pant legs were soaked from the knee down.

Re: [RBW] Re: Rain Cape Recommendation

[Drew Henson]

it's june-uary here in seattle so i'm thinking about bike ponchos, this 
thread has been helpful. anyone have any experience with this cleverhood? 
it has a waterproof rating listed but it seems like it's on the low end of 
the spectrum, the cleverlite seems pretty decent too.

https://www.cleverhood.com/shop/rainwear/classic-rain-poncho/mens-cape-with-hood-john-brown/

i'd probably just splurge for the faiweather one if it had reflective 
accents like some others. the J&G one seems kinda short based on the 
pictures on the site but it's hard to judge. 

Anyone used this one? Seems decent as well.

Re: [RBW] Re: Rain Cape Recommendation

Tully—Yes, it's packable—I roll mine up—but the fabric is a good weight so 
it takes up more space than a thin poncho. It's about the size of a big 
hoagie when rolled.

Oh, and again, 2 stacks of large washers attached to the tail of my
Campmore keep it from flying up in the wind.

One caveat if you ride in rainy but warm weather, and if you sweat easily:
I found that wearing the Carradice Ducksback and the Carradice bright
yellow nylon model I quickly overheated and started sweating, and found the
Campmore weight much more comfortable.

The Vaude's flapping irritates me enough that I would consider something
