Yeah, I use one on my upright commuter (much to the amusement of my co-workers) and it works pretty well, but on my drop bar bikes it's a bit less, um, fitting... Steve Frederick, East Lansing, MI

I think it would work better on a bike with upright bars, moving at slower speeds. The darn thing catches a *lot* of wind. Based on this one short ride, it also seems to impede my movement more than I like--it's hard to reach up to adjust my helmet-mounted mirror, or wipe my brow. On short trips around town in the rain on a more upright bike, however, it just might work. As another online reviewer pointed out, the English have been riding the rain for a long time, so they should know rain gear. --Eric www.wheelsnorth.org www.campyonly.com On Jan 19, 2010, at 2:18 AM, PATRICK MOORE wrote: It looks cute on you, Eric. I had one briefly but found it was too short -- front to back, not top to bottom -- to allow comfortable reach to the hoods, let alone hooks. Perhaps I got a small when I need a large? The cape among those that I've tried (the Carradice cotton, the Carradice nylon as pictured, and the Campmor) that works best is the Campmor, though it is flimsy and lightweight. The cotton one was too warm and I disliked the cameoflage green. Does this Carradice nylon come in different sizes? I bought mine used, so perhaps it was simply too small a size?
