I agree, a cape is nice for waterproofness from above, and ventilation from below. I have a cheap Ikea rain cape ($6), I need to figure out how to hack some thumb loops, meanwhile I just hold the front of the cape in my grip on the bars, and sit on the tail so my butt is covered too.

If I lived in Portland like fietsbob I would invest in that Grundens cape.
