You'll still need to think about how to keep the bottom of your legs and feet dry but I did feel pretty smug amongst my dripping wet friends.DIMENSIONS: 5.5′ x 9′ x 5′ in | 168 x 275 x 152 cm There wasn't even any leaking through any of the seams! I was caught in a particularly heavy downpour and the cape kept me completely dry. I tried the cape out on several rainy cycle rides and while not being able to see my hands took a bit of getting used to, the best thing about this cape is how waterproof it really is. It is important to note however, that if like me you keep your lights on your handlebars, it would be necessary to have a light on your helmet or on your frame above your front wheel. The cape comes with a waist strap and handlebar tabs to stop it from flying about in high winds and the hi-vis strip around the edge is great for visibility on dark rainy days. I had the navy blue version but the cape also comes in peach, black, walnut and green. Not only does the cape feel really comfortable but it also looks very stylish. I'm not a fan of wearing waterproof trousers as I find I get far too hot, so I was keen to try the Weathergoods Imbris rain poncho (£120.00) and I must say, I was pretty impressed. I've worn a lot of different supposedly waterproof jackets during my rides, and while some kept the top half of me warm and fairly dry for the majority of the journey none would protect me from the waist down.
