Besides just being too big, if we’re not riding our Bromptons and are riding our bikes with big 700c wheels, the cape hangs down and gets caught in the front wheel.

The only difference is it took a little getting used to working the brakes and gear shifts with the poncho straps. The poncho, although it looks big, is really squashable and packs into all the remaining spaces in your bag. The three-layered design consists of a TPU coating, durable polyester and Tricot Knit, making it fully waterproof, robust and breathable. The latter being a consideration when I bought the jacket as I plan to use it when out on my Brompton too. With this said, Cleverhood cleverly (haha) used interwoven reflective thread to make the cape reflective from passing headlights.When we say ponchos and capes, we’re not referring to the thin bin liners you get at the theme parks, we mean quality made cycle specific ones – there is a difference. And with thoughtful features such as the clear panel for visibility and hidden cuff, this poncho certainly has a lot going for it.

Available in a variety of lengths, widths, colours and designs, you can be sure to find something suitable for keeping your body dry during those unexpected showers.Also known as a rain cape, this is a loose-fitting piece of waterproof fabric with a hood that protects most of your body from the rain. Not only is it a waterproof cloak, but it can also be used as an awning cloth or a tent ground sheet mat. We also found the handlebar straps were handy places for your hands to perch, while keeping them warm and sheltered. The adjustable hood can be rolled away into the collar when not in use, so it isn’t blowing around you when you’re riding.
