I like my Log House rain-cape - I'm a big guy, and put out a lot of body heat under full steam. The cape keeps me cool, and helps control perspiration - I don't wind up sweat-soaked like I do with a jacket. It also does a credible job of keeping my legs mostly dry - I have a pedal-forward bike, so my knees get wet. I may just need a longer model cape, tho at 6'3", that may be tricky. It packs down pretty compact (it lives in my pannier full-time), and is also fairly windproof.
