Now I wouldn't necessarily seek to go riding in the rain, but since I'm using my scooter as a great commuter I fear I may be caught off guard some evening/morning. I rode home from work one night in a fairly steady rain. It's only a 2.1 mile journey, but there are stop lights and other hold-ups. By the time I got home me and my clothes were as soaked as they could be. If I'd jumped into a pool I couldn't have been wetter. Even my skivvies had about a quart of water that could be wrung out of them.
So, I'm on a mission to find me some nice rain gear / rain poncho to have on hand (stored under seat or in trunk) for that "just in case" situation. When I do a search on Amazon (got Amazon Prime and been real happy with most everything I've bought from or thru Amazon) for "rain poncho" I get quite a few pages and quite a few listings AND a lot of the ponchos look to be adequately protective with hood and large poncho-shaped coverage.
There are some that are pretty cheaply-made, but also real cheap (200 ponchos = $122 -that's less than a dollar each) and disposable. That could be fun, cause you don't have to worry about drying them out or getting them rolled back up. But there are a number of non-disposable ones that range from $7-$20 or more. The majority seem to be in that $7-11 range.
For that price I'm just going to have to get one and see for myself.
