One alternative I did speak of is cycle rain capes.. J&G do offer a version Rain Capes from People Who Really Know Rain Capes!

Though I got a much longer , and heavier rain cape from a Riv-Bike - Grundens Foul weather gear company collaboration..

Because the open draping over your arms nature of their design, they use a water proof coated fabric,

relying on ventilation rather than water vapor permeability..


I own a Showers Pass Portland* Jacket, it is a tweedy grey fabric with a bonded liner that provides a bit of insulation..

Renamed apparently https://www.showerspass.com/collecti...sterdam-jacket IDK if the fabric has changed.. certainly darker..


Mostly wear a parka of neon yellow-green with wide reflective stripes . for my dark season winter .. 'not raining much' occasions, riding across town..
