Rain Cape for cool temps

[crazycanuck]

What about Showers Pass jackets?? I've been pondering one for a while but haven't..

Stay away from rain capes if possible. They flop and fly all over the place, and you still get wet from all the spray coming UP from the road. When it rains, you'll get wet. I really like my REI rain jacket, though. It's obnoxiously bright yellow, and visibility in the rain is more important than staying dry (because you won't). But my REI rainjacket is reasonably priced and comfortable and visible. Gore-Tex is the best, but it's not in my budget.

I've been very happy with my Showers Pass eVent jacket and I don't get all sweaty when I wear it. It's not a cheap solution. However after wearing it while doing the Sea Gull Century in a nor'easter, I think it's a worthy investment.

Catrin, I've had good luck with wool. It really does keep you warm even when wet.

Also, I second the shower-cap-on-helmet idea. It works.
