Cheap? Yard waste plastic bags with head and arm holes.

I have a cycle rain cape from Grundens, not cheap but will last me the rest of my life + that of someone after me.

the Vaude cape with the arm holes strikes me as odd since the hole may let in rain water, but I suppose it may let you stick your hands out to signal a turn..

easier than lifting the hem of the cape to do the same .. try and report.



Now shorter trips I wear a Parka , Hi-Viz neon lime w reflective bands..

on my last long tour wore an Anorak ..Front zipper vs pull over with a handwarmer (glove storage)

and a kangaroo pocket for Snacks and cough-drops..

pants and shoe covers [97 toured Ireland March through May. ]

Now local commuting, LL Bean rubber moccasins and platform pedals are fine..
