Thanks Nyah for taking the time to post.

I don't enjoy riding in the rain or on wet roads, so I avoid riding during those times. However, when out on a long ride or tour, rain can always happen unexpectedly. Seems to me that any protection is better than none, even if you get wet from the inside. I've struggled with this on backpacking and hiking trips - don't wear rain gear, get wet from rain; wear rain gear, get wet from the inside. The difference for me is keeping warm - the rain gear tends to keep me warm(er). In all cases, I seek shelter and just enjoy the downpour.

I think I'll keep looking and maybe try one of those very inexpensive capes for my infrequent need. If I buy one, I'll post back about my experiences.
