As of today, I use an old rain poncho / cape for commuting in the rain. The poncho is made of a single PVC layer and it lacks hand loops or a waist strap. I like the general concept of rain ponchos, but my current one is rather impractical. So I have been searching for a cycling rain poncho in Vienna (Austria), but I could only find the following two models:
- Vaude Valdipino Poncho
- Wäfo Radponcho Modell 440
Both models have hand loops, but they lack a waist strap. The Vaude poncho is packable into itself and it has slits for the arms to pass through. The Wäfo poncho has transparent panels in the hood.
Are there any experiences with the mentioned rain ponchos? Is it advisable to rather have a rain poncho with a waist strap? If it is, where can I buy such a poncho?
Cheers,
