I used the waxed cotton Carradice (not Brooks) rain cape for a summer monsoon season of commuting here in ABQ, NM and found it too heavy and hot. Perhaps the Brooks is lighter? I find that the cheap Campmore flaps more but isn't as hot. Temps here are usually in the upper 70s to mid 80s during a rain -- once the sun goes behind the clouds the temperature can drop 10+ degrees.
