Duxback Rain Poncho

Fortunately I have not needed to wear this in the rain yet, but it looks almost perfect. Only thing I wish it had was a loop on the back to hang my tail light on.

Can't wait for it to rain on my commute! I'm using this with my Specialized Haul ST.

Excellent product in every way!

The Cape is thick and strong and totally waterproof. The XL length gives plenty of coverage for the knees. It doesn’t flap easily and dries quickly. Taking a hand off the handlebars requires removing your thumb from the loop that is holding it in place, I could probably loop the webbing over my handlebars but then it would make getting off difficult. When you signal your knees get wet so this would not be ideal for a busy city ride. My old Brooks cape attached to the handlebars with magnets which was a better design. The hood doesn’t fit well underneath a helmet, or stay on without one on top. It doesn’t come down far enough over the forehead, there is no peak to protect the eyes and it is too pointy on top. It is also lined with thick tartan fabric which makes it stiff and difficult to wear. If you can sort the hood and handlebar attachment then it’s definitely gets five stars.

Ordered just as the rain arrived. Went out for a few rides in the heavy rain and initially it was a winner. Wasn’t too heavy and covered everything perfectly. No flapping and I was dry, On my next few rides I was noticing I was getting wet from the area where the two handstraps where located. The straps themselves were getting soaked also. Thinking this was wrong I wrote a detailed description of the flaw and sent to the company. Not heard anything back from them at all so not exactly happy as this poncho isn’t exactly cheap. Not sure what to do next.
