Can anyone report on riding longer distances in rain wearing wool? I find

I used the waxed cotton Carradice (not Brooks) rain cape for a summer

Perhaps the Brooks is lighter? I find that the cheap Campmore flaps more

to give but: when I was living in Tacoma, Washington I would wear the
jacket while riding during heavy downpours in the summer and, of course,
all winter long. Out here in mid-coast Maine, I can't really wear any

Looks really interesting. What is the upper range of temperature you can
