I got a Cycling Cape that Rivendale bike worked with Grundens of Sweden/Portugal to get made.

Grundens makes Foul Weather gear for the Commercial fishing industry..

I live in an old Fishing town on the Oregon Coast , so I knew the brand,

It is a Seam welded nylon backed PVC.. it should be good for a couple generations..

Unfortunately when the first batch sold out (took a few years), RBW had a cash flow problem,

and the minimum batch reorder size was unaffordable, so there will be no more ..

unless someone comes up with the re order costs..

Much larger than the Carradice Pro Route, so it drapes over the bars and my hands finally stay dry.

Yellow , not Schwartz, is better, IMO.

Was a fine thing to have on when marine winter squalls came ashore ,
dumping a lot of rain over a short period of time,

It's like a curtain of heavy rainfall preceding a bit less heavy continuous rain behind it.
