Evolved out of necessity in 1976. Get a cheap 100% waterproof cagoule with a hood without any uncomfortable seams that fits over your regular riding jacket. Cagoule on, hood up, helmet on. No nasty water ingress around the neck and no cold wind either. I've ridden 1000's of miles in the pissing wet and nothing has worked better.

 Mines in the left pannier as we speak.

Hmm, I'm pretty sure the one in my saddlebag doesn't even have a hood, I'll have to check that out & adjust if nessesary, Thanks for the tip.

 The bad news: Stearns is no longer offering my favorite cagoule  :P
The good news: I have found a bespoke upholsterer and seamstress willing to repair my waxed cotton jacket !

Best? of both worlds. Waxed cotton cagoule. (Bit heavy though) ;)
