You say you're not planning on riding in bad conditions, so as long as you run warm and aren't going to be relying on it for warmth on overnight rides, go for it - it'll be a Pro intermediary between the Race Cape and Rain Gilet. Everyone I know that's done it, loves it. The only reason I haven't is because I chill down and get cold hands really easily.
I'm sure @hoops will give his thoughts - having used both Race Cape and Rain Gilet

Has anyone had the cojones to cut the arms off their race cape?
I'm considering it. It's cheaper than buying a rain gilet and, if I'm honest, I don't ride when it is pissing it down. I take the cape with me when it is possible we may have showers. The gilet would be good for that, as would a slevless race cape.
If I really need a rain coat, I have a Gore condom-a-like thingy.
Could I really do it?
