Let me know how the billowing sail action goes. I'd like to offer one of the lighter ones as a gift & at $100 the price is definitely right if it performs well. Keep me posted
I've had the Rover Rain Cape a couple of weeks now. Billowing is not an issue in my use case because I am using it solely for off the bike walking. IMO it would make a perfect gift. It comes folded inside a flat-pouch of the same material that I don't think anyone will ever be able to get the poncho back into. I'm not even going to try. I did buy the $4.00 optional belt but haven't used it. That should make billowing a non-issue.
