Thanks. My race cape is not waterproof at all. Perhaps it needs reproofing.
How fragile is the shake dry? I hear that, but have you torn it? If so, how?

The material's just very thin. I'd be afraid of catching it on branches, or wearing through it with bag straps.

In contrast, I got knocked off by a (admittedly, slow moving) car whilst wearing mine and fully expected it to see it torn to shreds, and there wasn't a mark on it

I’d say if it’s just for regular on weekend riding road use it’s perfect.
If you ride off road branches and thorns would be a concern.

I only have the shake dry. It’s very waterproof and by far the most breathable jacket I’ve owned (I have the race cape too).
It also packs down very small. The fabric is fragile though.
