RainGo™, designed for commuters, allows the rider to stand fully and be protected from rain while stopped at an intersection.
Odd, my raingear keeps me protected from rain while stopped at an intersection also. And it works even when im off my bike, like when changing a flat.....

i dont know where people test these things, but usually when its raining here, its accompanied by wind. And in wind the last thing i want to do is imitate a sailboat.

I've seen one of those a few years back, when I attended BCIT.
On of my classmates, a bearded guy in his 30's had it on his MTB.
It looked really cumbersome.

Looking at the webpage, it appears they're made locally. Its funny I've only ever seen ONE in person.

Someone else posted about these a while back. The response was derisory.
