Not with those 2 , i've tried Carradice pro route cape, resold it when I got a
Grundens (rivendale bike sold) one , made by the reliable Swedish - Portuguese
Commercial-fishermans off shore foul weather gear manufacturer..
it's a bit bigger and heavier than the British made one.. welded seam nylon reinforced PVC.

Have not used the waist tie, but I did find the hand loop used, and better if big enough

cordage to find the knot, hook my thumb in it, with out being able to see it..

Carradice sews the cotton webbing pieces on.. I dipped the cut ends in wax to stop cut end fraying ..


Oh, and a definition note: ponchos are a big rectangle, flat.
hood in the center

a cycle rain cape is Conic shaped,.. less stuff flapping about..
