I have a duxback and have found it to be really nice for light rain and even some slushy spitty snow, but my shoulders have gotten pretty damp if it's really raining. This would be in the context of my 10-mile commute each way. I also like that it covers the bike, but I use a handlebar mounted light (supernova with the rubber-gasket handlebar mount) and the cape covers it. As for the hood, I have worn it under a helmet, and I have ignored it and used my Grundens Bold Soldier Rain Hat. Goofy as it is, the Grundens is great at doing its job.
I have always wished I could do a side-by-side ride comparison to the Riv cape. liesl -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
