This rain cape is (almost) exactly what I was looking for. I've only had a couple of opportunities to test it so far, but it does its job: I stay nice and dry and the cape stays put over my bike.
One notable con, however:
The material is not only non-reflective- the dark color actually makes you harder to see. I always ride with reflective gear and lights in the rain, but for the most part this cape covers them all up. I combat this by pulling the cape just behind my headlight (my taillight remains unobstructed), but obviously this compromises the effectiveness of the front covering because it does not come all the way over the handlebars. Regardless, I still remain dry.
For light use during the day this rain cape is a good product. For night riding or any situation where visibility is greatly reduced, it requires some modifications to remain visible and safe (I'm thinking about adding some reflective tape). If only it were offered in a brighter color...
