Re, Rain Capes, trousers less needed, front of body ventilates well ..


Where'd you get yours?

I haven't been able to find anyone local that supplies cycling specific ones.
I got the Grundens welded PVC/nylon one from Rivendale , there are others that weigh less ,
one from C.A.T, in Eugene . is lighter fabric, also in larger sizes, to choose amongst.
J&G is another OR company to offer one.

Log House thru Campmor, is a coated nylon, modestly priced, 1 size, inc. hood.

Carradice comes from England , US vendors , several , or some ship from there..
pro route is bright ,nylon, coated, duxback is waxed cotton, darker colors..

That Campmor one looks decent.

I think the largest problem I have with most bike rain capes is they have no hoods.

For a reason, the turning your head and seeing just the inside of the hood
won't be useful.

then a helmet rain cover which will turn with your head is better...

I, at least, wear a Baseball cap, underneath, to help hooded parkas turn somewhat
with my head.

I have just a low traffic rural like road , to travel for the most part, here,
where you have traffic in Metro Denver, I expect.
