Sorry, that will have to be some other reviewer. As I said earlier, I use capes/ponchos for hiking/walking only. They excel (IMO) for that use case. For biking, nothing beats a standard rain jacket with waist to wrist pit zips and matching pants or chaps. In wet weather you get wet. Good rain gear does not keep you bone dry. If it can, you aren't really hammering. And that's ok. But if you really are putting out the Watts in the Wet, well, you've got to be realistic about your comfort. My Jacket is $45 and so are the pants. Nothing fancy. Coated nylon. Done the Gore-Tex, spent the $$$. These days, an older, wiser, Leisesturm splurges on gifts for the missus, like another enlightened rogue in this company. Class dismissed.
