Bell-shaped Rain Cape
These "ponchos" look more like nice rain capes.
Some capes don't have a hood but make a good seal round your neck.

Look good in the rain |
What is the advantage of a rain cape?
It is easy to wear and offers good protection.
In just a couple of seconds, you can slip it on over whatever you’re wearing, and you are protected from the rain.
It is generously sized, for maximum coverage.
Fashion capes come in different shapes to suit your style, unlike the utilitarian square shaped ponchos.
Their long bell-shaped design looks more elegant,
whilst cycling capes are shorter and much wider.
A rain cape offers a versatile alternative to a waterproof jacket for touring or commuting.
It is large enough to keep both you and your pack dry in wet conditions but still packs down completely when not in use.
This is ideal for many situations from hill walking to tropical downpours.
Because they are closed on the side they provide better protection in windy weather.
Great as warm up, but not for swimming as your arm movement is limited.
