Ponchos and rain capes for cycling are special outer garments made of waterproof materials, such as polyester or nylon, which protect cyclists from rain. They are large, rectangular layers of fabric with a head opening and often with a hood.
What to look for when buying a cycling poncho?
When buying a cycling poncho, it's important to pay attention to the following aspects:
Material – the poncho should be made of lightweight, waterproof, and quick-drying material, such as nylon or polyester with a PU coating. Taped seams are also important to prevent water from seeping through.
Size and length – the poncho should be the right length to cover the entire body, including the cyclist and their backpack.
Waterproofing and breathability – an important parameter is waterproofing, ideally about 2000 mm water column or more, to provide protection during heavy rain. The material should also be breathable to ensure comfort during physical exertion.
Weight and packability – the poncho should be lightweight and easy to fold so that it can be conveniently taken on any ride.
