Well no, but I am having second thoughts, in my defence prior to this year the school run has just been taking the eldest to school so when the weather is blowing a hoolly and rain is running out the bottom of your trousers like a river I have worn my cloak, it is heavy wool, it is floor length it has a nice big heavy hood, you can keep a small baby or child underneath it so they do not get wet, but it would not be good for cycling in, and from this year onwards I have one to drop at the top of the village and then one to get tot he bottom of the village in 10 minutes - meaning I need to cycle so I sort of went from cloak to poncho........
I don't think it's that bad an idea. I've perused poncho's myself befor now.
I've got a pac a mac which I keep in my panniers, keeps the top half dry, but legs get wet, a ponch is better for leg dryness.
