ザ・コンパクトレインカバー

The handlebar bag attachment is genius—no more fumbling with straps. The waterproof fabric actually feels like a quality jacket, soft and not at all plasticky. It’s been through two downpours and my gear stayed bone dry.

The fabric really does feel like a rain jacket, soft and flexible rather than that crinkly plastic stuff. Takes a bit of fiddling to get the handlebar bag positioned just right, but once it's on, it stays put through a downpour.

I was a bit skeptical about the fabric being soft, but it really is—no crinkly noise when I stuff it in my bag. The handlebar bag attachment is clever and makes putting it on the bike quick, though I wish the fit was a tad tighter on my specific model.
