ConsWould have liked an option to detach the hood.
ProsStrong and functional
Wearing this I cycled in a heavy downpour, flooding roads, cars pulling over for lack of visibility and arrived at my destination dry. Good ventilation underneath. The lined hood is comfortable. (Under the helmet).
Very satisfied

Conspoor hood fit and design.
Prossturdy, well made, discreet, and not too bulky
While I won’t get to use this in anger till the Autumn, first impressions show its a well made and capable poncho.
Sturdy build and not excessively heavy or bulky. My only disappointment is the hood seems almost an afterthought. It’s too small to fit directly on my medium sized head so for a cycling cape very disappointed you cannot wear a helmet underneath.

ConsFinish not "permanent"
ProsSize, functionality
Works as advertised. Long is good for those over 6'/1.8m tall. Well made, wax finish will likely wear down after a season and need to be re-done. Better purchase than a generic bike poncho from the sports stores.

Over or under the helmet?
By
22 May 2021
Assuming I’m not wearing a huge helmet, is this designed to go over a helmet or under it? Bit vague.

Ta!
I would suggest under a helmet! the hood is rather oversized- so technical can go over an a helmet but it depends on style etc.

Rolled up size for the XL
By
15 Apr 2021
Carradice themselves weren’t too clear and others have asked about it rolling up but how big is it when rolled up? Specifically the XL one.

And secondly, when rolled up as is, will it go in a Carradice Zipped Roll? If not then would creatively re rolling it fatter make it fit?

Cheers
Rolled up size for the XL is approx:

l=26cm
w=9cm
H=9cm
Carridice Duxback rain cape...
By
13 Apr 2020
Would you recommend this rain cape for personal rain gear on a long bicycle touring...I am 5'9" I am from the USA...I own a Carridice Camper Longflap Saddlebag. Two of them, and a Carridice Super C Saddlebag, and now a set of Carridice Super C Panniers...and love all of these bags...was thinking next to add a Carridice Duxback cape but would you recommend it as a main piece of kit for multiple-year bicycle tour....
Has to be your choice, the advantage of a cape is that you are kept dry but with far more air flow/ventilation, far better than a breathable jacket with also some protection for the legs, the disadvantage is that you are more venerable from the draft of passing trucks plus when off the bike you have a less "normal" rain jacket to wear around town.

Does the hood fold away?
By
17 Sep 2018
Hi... I may wear a hat instead of using the hood, and am concerned that water may collect in the hood if it's not on the head. Will it stow away or detach?
Hi there,

Unfortunately the hood is not detachable im afraid. It is possible that you could fold it away but as we have never tried this we cannot say for certain.

Thanks.
Hi, Does the poncho fold up neatly into a compact size? And does it come with a bag? Thanks.
By

Hi there,

Yes this Poncho folds/rolls into a compact size, and fits within the bag supplied.

Thanks
What size should I order please?
By
01 Nov 2017
Hi, I would like to purchase for my partner - he's 6' 4" tall. Can you advise on best size to order please. Thank you.
Hi,

As he is quite tall the XL size would be the best fit.

Thanks.
How does this fit whilst riding a Brompton ? is it too long ? i'm 5'11'' tall... or short maybe....
By
04 Aug 2017
Hi,

Although we have never tested one on a Brompton it should still fit and work the same as a normal bike. The fact the wheels on the Brompton are smaller in diameter should work to its advantage though by keeping them further away from the bottom of he cape.

Thanks.
