I bought a rain cape once. I put it into my pannier, went for a ride, as I was leaving a mall parking lot it started to rain, I stopped and put the cape on, looked back to see whether it was safe to start moving, got off, and put the cape back into the pannier. It hung on a hook in the back entry until it rotted and I threw it away. ?? Why? -- - Frank Krygowski |

That's exactly what one does not want for evap cooling. Cotton provides enough of a reservoir to keep evaporating and thus cooling my body for half an hour. On hot days I wear the slightly thicker version T-shirts for that reason. I suspect the cotton retains more of the moisture rather than wicking it away and evaporating it.

(I pull off and stop before using the last two, of course.) You could join the 21st century and fit a cheap bike computer like the Sigma BC509, which will tell you the time at a glance. If you don't want to descend quite that far into nerdiness, the Altura Night Vision Evo jacket has four ziippered pockets, one the normal one across the lower back, plus three on the front. Reading glasses would most handily slip into the outside breast pocket AJ |
