What are some good biking ponchos? Preferably not too expensive. (kbin.social)

Trying to prepare for the day where I'm out and I get caught in the rain.

I have a J&G rain cape. It is really great - thumb loops means you have a little dry cabin (protip: if you have a spot on your handlebars to hook the loops, it keeps your arms dryer). Yes, if you are going fast it does have a little resistance. BUT, it also breaths much much better than any rain jacket I've ever had. So you don't get nearly as clammy or sweaty. To me, that's a worthwhile tradeoff.
