WHAT RAIN?
There’s nothing new about a rain cape. Cyclists have been wearing these for decades. But cycling apparel manufacturers have spent millions trying to perfect the wet weather jacket, and Dutch company VanMoof has really knocked it out of the park.The ingenious design, called The Boncho, is a fully waterproof poncho packed away in a small bag that is ready to pop out, throw over your head and fix to the bike’s handlebars for a fully waterproof, breathable ride that covers both your arms and legs. Genius.
