Ponchos Are Back!
Traditional raingear for serious cyclists all over the world. Our updated version is perfect for traveling the streets in rainy weather without the inconvenience of complicated raingear.

• Classic style
• Easy on and off
• Full coverage to handlebars—knees stay dry
• No more awkward rain pants
• More airflow = less sweat

Ultrex fabric
Ultrex® is a soft, waterproof, breathable fabric with a micro-porous coating. These micro-pores are so small the rain and wind do not pass through, yet they are large enough to permit perspiration vapor molecules to escape. Available in yellow/black and blue/black. Includes reflective strip across the back for night visibility.

Please refer to the chart below for sizing information.

When ordering, please be aware that ponchos are not designed with bulky backpacks and messenger bags in mind. Wearing bulky gloves may make it difficult to put your fingers completely through the handholds.

Testimonials

I just tried out my new rain cape from CAT (Center for Appropriate Transport) in Oregon. I ordered one in all yellow with a detachable hood; they are made as you order them on site. Rode 50 minutes in constant Seattle rain. It works amazingly well. Great design, workmanship and materials. Super service too... Wore the hood under my helmet, no problems... Other than my face, not a drop of rain above my knees. Bike stayed dry above the crank and I was not drenched in sweat despite wearing a long sleeve fleece jacket and leg warmers. It was not too windy so did not have much issue with that, but given that this cape stops around mid-thigh, it should not catch too much wind. Ahh, I actually look forward to the next ride in the rain...


What a great gift! It's perfect, and it even arrived on a rainy day. I never saw one before, and now I can't figure out why these ponchos aren't everywhere. I plan to wear it many places beyond biking.


Today was the first true test of the poncho and it performed beautifully... The quality of the worksmanship has surpassed my expectations! The fit, finish, and overall design all worked together to keep me incredibly dry on my commute this morning. From now on I won't hesitate a minute to ride in any conditions. I never did before, but now I know I'll show up dry and comfortable.
