I still prefer a poncho to a jacket so I will try this one.
Depending on your height, the carradice poncho may be a better choice. I am 5' 9" and the J&G provides good coverage, but for someone taller (> 6'), it may not. The carradice comes in two sizes, a normal, and one for tall folks.
One US source for the carradice capes is Peter White cycles.
