anyone use a waterproof poncho........the type that goes over the rucksack and everything.
i need a old fashioned cycle cape, and new ones do not cover me cos they all seem to be made for kids 😉
so i thought one of the poncho's might do.
Have you tried the Raleigh cycling cape?
Vaude do a couple of "ponchos":

although I would call them capes
To me, a poncho should be open at the sides (and maybe fastened with poppas). They are really easy to make, Ton! Do you have access to a sewing machine? I can send you a pattern!
cheers guys, gonna order one of the vaude ones...ideal.
Don't forget Army Surplus stores. Plenty ponchos for the larger gentleman.
