big news from the designboom world of architecture, design and art. the new Rain Rover.

Spring is here and, as you may know, it’s a miraculous experience. It’s really the perfect season — theoretically. You can’t beat that warm nonchalancey feeling, until the wind whips up and the clouds roll in. Our data analysis shows that people can lose up to 60% of that carefree feeling if they’re improperly prepared for the the vagaries of Spring.

Dear Susan Mocarski, Thank you for your thoughtfulness. Your design is so custom compared to the commercial ones. The NY Times insists no gifts so it must be returned. I'll keep in mind your "Cleverhood." The poncho is the best for keeping dry on a bike. Best regards, Bill P.S. Your kind note was appreciated and if you spot me again please say hi and remind me of your Cleverhood.

Many people think they know how to walk in the rain. However, after 8 years in the rain cape business you learn to recognize the posers and the wannabes. It seems simple. Everyone thinks they can do it. But then when it’s nice and raining they say they don’t want to show you now. Or they dash off scampering around puddles like bugs on a hot griddle.

By all means avoid the mall. Gifts should be thoughtful and different. Something carefully made with an attention to detail. That’s like your love, right? Keep hammering the poetry, but consider that real gifts rank very high on the Valentine's Index®. This plan is based on fresh data.

The surprise of preemptive strike is critical to success.

We’re going over the border. We’re heading to Canada to see how they do what they do. Three of the Top 10 Livable Cities on the planet are in Canada. Are they just lucky? We're off to the bike shows in Montreal and Toronto to get some answers.

After more than 7 years, we've created a name for ourselves in capes. However, you'd be remiss if you thought rain was the extent of our repertoire. Since the introduction of the inimitable Sweatshirt Cape ('no ordinary hoodie') way back when, we've been working on capes for all seasons.

#riding in the rain

One time we met a customer who had received a Cleverhood electric rain cape as a gift. She was a city bike rider in Seattle.

...just in case you receive a Cleverhood as a gift and have no idea what it does.

We're happy to report that our capes are actively used in cities all over the world. We like to think our customers appreciate our attention to detail. That's a comprehensive approach we take with our outerwear. And it's a big benefit of our close partnership with talented garment workers in nearby Fall River, Massachusetts.
