Watch the back doesn't get trapped in the rear wheel if you don't have mudguards!

Mudguards ,pannier rack ,and rear lights fitted to end of rack ,so not obscured .

Looks a bit big. and pricey.
Puts me in mind of the gear I think folks use in slaughterhouses.
I have a good military type poncho with stud fastenings on the side I got for around £15.
Really like it but I use it for camping when bike-touring - great for dashing to the showers in the rain.
Can also be used as a tarp.
I wouldn't wear it on the bike.

I prefer the jogging/running coat over the poncho. Right length, proper material, ventilated. Usually free with entry into a race as a promotion. I think I have one from a run at Disney World, back in The Day.

Looks like a good piece of kit for keeping dry. I can imagine it might cause a bit of consternation in someone opening the door to you on a dark rainy night .

Alternatively, there's this:

"Designed to go anywhere" it says, and gives " protection against harsh and unpredictable weather"

though I reckon mine gets around more.

I'd rather get soaking wet than be seen in that, it's hideous, they should have made in camo so no one could see you in it!

I always wonder why ppl wear camo in the city. I think it makes them stand out

Five hundred and seventy five quids for a piece of fabric with arms in it, they're having a giraffe.

I think it looks fine. I might go with something more hi-viz. don't think "fashion" matters when you're trying not to be killed by motorists. other ppl I've read that got a cycling specific poncho always rave about them 👍

You need more than a Poncho where you are, I'd be thinking something like a big ass American 4 x 4... 🐧
