The wearing of a poncho to keep out the rain while cycling isn’t just a practical way to keep dry – if you pick a bright colour, it’s a two-fingered salute to dreary weather.
We like the Grant Rain Poncho – it’s made from 100 per cent recycled polyester and packs down into a bag that’s incorporated into the design.
If you thought this poncho traded technical ability in favour of colourful style, you’d be mistaken. Underneath the outer fabric is a membrane that manages to be both waterproof and breathable. And when the wind picks up, sleeved elements allow you to keep your hands dry under the poncho and prevent it from billowing.
