anyone use a waterproof poncho........the type that goes over the rucksack and everything.

i need a old fashioned cycle cape, and new ones do not cover me cos they all seem to be made for kids 😉

so i thought one of the poncho's might do.

although I would call them capes

To me, a poncho should be open at the sides (and maybe fastened with poppas). They are really easy to make, Ton! Do you have access to a sewing machine? I can send you a pattern!
