Ponchos and rain capes for cycling are special outer garments made from waterproof materials like polyester or nylon, which protect cyclists from rain. They are large, rectangular layers of fabric with a head opening and often a hood.
What to consider when buying a cycling poncho?
When buying a cycling poncho, it's worth considering the following aspects:
Material – The poncho should be made from lightweight, waterproof, and quick-drying material such as nylon or polyester with a PU coating. Sealed seams are also important to prevent water leakage.
Size and length – The poncho should be appropriately long to cover the entire body, including the cyclist along with a backpack.
Waterproofing and breathability – A crucial factor is the waterproof rating, ideally around 2000 mm water column or more, to protect during heavy rainfall. The material should also be breathable, providing comfort during physical exertion.
Weight and packability – The poncho should be lightweight and easy to fold, so it can be conveniently taken on any ride.
