Cycling Jackets: Transparent Racing Capes Reviewed

Posted in Cycling Apparel Info., Cycling Information, Product Reviews, tagged , , , , , on May 18, 2010 | 1 Comment »

The “racing cape” is a unique piece of cycling apparel. It’s purpose is to keep you protected from the wind and rain while still showing your team kit and race number. It does all of those things…to a certain extent.

Does it keep you protected from the wind?
