Cycling Jackets: Transparent Racing Capes Reviewed

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

Does it keep you protected from the wind?
Yes, and it does a really good job of it. Most rain capes are not made to fit like a jacket you wear over clothes, they’re made to fit like a cycling jersey; form fitted. This is great because it translates to not having extra material to…

There are a lot of great cycling products out there these days, both apparel and equipment, but sometimes you don’t know how great they are until you have a problem.
