I've been looking at rain ponchos, heck I've gone as far as making a [url= https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pTL0rq8A0aiFGrf4OyzH7xo7z_wC1G5joKE0ipX1CZ4/edit?usp=sharing ]spreadsheet[/url] with images mapping out the options.

I'm on a budget but detest poor quality clothing, I returned a HOCK poncho that was just very poorly made. I don't bike in the rain THAT often so although the convenience of a poncho is alluring, rain pants and jacket could work too.

If you’re doing any distance, remember that when it’s raining in the UK, it’s usually windy too. The drag/flappiness of a poncho might become tiresome quite quickly.

They still make ponchos?..
Haven't used one for 50 years while on a school biking trip around the Isle of Man ..
