The old rain capes had loops for the hands on the brake hoods. No tail section See "Effective Cycling" by Forrester. I have had a nose piece collapse at speed so a hard shell front piece is needed for highway speeds. Behind the rider's back plate lighter materials can be used. Lycra does not provide the abrasion protection of other materials.
