This Easter the rain came in buckets, rare enought these days to make riders forget it exists.
Thankfully, it does but isn't it 'orrible when your head gets soaked, your hair drips and your glasses, already wet from riding into the rain also have rain dripping down from the holes in your helmet?
Solution?
A raincap on the helmet.
We went looking for one some time ago and found none in local shops or even further afield.
Here are some urls to find a suitable helmet cover:
Carradice of the UK panniers and saddlebags fame make a complete set of rain gear:
