Let's talk bicycle rain ponchos. Do you use one? Any recommendations? (sh.itjust.works)

I would like to ride more in the rain. What are some of this community's preferences around rain ponchos?

Especially good in the summer. They allow you to stay very dry but also get great airflow. Feet and lower legs are unprotected, but wearing shorts in summer it's not much of an issue, and at worst you have to wear waterproof pants. Some long custom open backed gaiters would be ideal.

They aren't aero though. I wouldn't want to ride for tens of miles in one. Excellent for the daily commute though.
