That's fine when I start any time after 8. But when I am on an early shift with a 5am start, in the middle of winter - you have to crowbar me out of bed. If I am to cycle instead of drive my lovely warm car, then waterproofs need to be able to go over my uniform and not replace it.
That's the reason the rain cape appeals to me - but it is the issue of wind that is stopping me from trying one.
