That's around the speed I ride with mine at, and it works great for that. Tend to arrive at the destination way less sweaty and gross compared to a rain jacket. My cape is basically an older version of the Urbanaut, after 5 years it still looks pretty close to new, I have no doubt that it will last a very long time. Gets a lot of compliments from people too.
