/n/ I was buying some bike rain gear and found a cool biking rain jacket. it folds into a pocket on the front of itself so its easily transportable if it stops raining. also only costs $10 so its horrible ugliness and garbage bag feel is worth it.

Nice find dude.
There is a guy around where I live that has this jacket that the back isn't long enough to hit the rear rack, but the front actually goes into his handlebars. It acts like a tent with face hole and never seems to give him greif looking round. Ever seen something like that for sale?

I was born in the 1970s and those kinds of jackets were very common for casualwear when I was growing up. I had one where the "pocket" it got stuffed into was the shape and color of a banana, so it looked like you were carrying around a banana. More pleb people had square shaped collapsible ponchos.

It amuses me that "progress" has gotten us to a point where nobody knows what these are and deep linking strategies are required to even be aware of them.

I think he's implying that OP was advertising.

FWIW he's right that this is nothing new, I have a rain jacket of the same type, but with some fancier features, it came from a outdoor equipment shop in the 90's.

as other anons have already pointed out, this type of jacket has been around for decades. as emergency they might work but since they are not only waterproof but also don't breathe, you'll end up wet with your own sweat on longer rides (not too metion the smell).

yeah, i know its not breathable. i was just thinking that an issue i've had with riding is having a jacket if it rains that is small enough to transport if it begins to rain and not have to worry about lugging around this big jacket, and since this one folds up into a pocket on itself i could easily keep it in my backpack i use
