when I saw Rivendale went to Grundens for their rain cape design's manufacturing source.
I plunked down the $115 asking price [+ shipping]..
Texas weather is admittedly not the same as the PNW, of course..
so Rain Gear Manufacturers , spend a winter here testing your gear
not in down town Seattle. there is a rain shadow behind the Olympic peninsula there.
I think Campmor still has a $30 rain cape for cyclists.
I'm a big fan because the cape only weighs 8 ounces and I carry it all the time. You don't need jacket and pants. In fact, you don't need special gloves either. It also create a whole lot less sweat than many jacket/pants combinations. I have the J&G rain jacket (non-breathable) and it really creates moisture.
