Using your Basil Hoga bicycle rain poncho is easy. Just put it on like a regular poncho. Adjust the three-piece hood to get a clear view. If you want sleeves while walking, use the pushbuttons to create them. The hip straps and hand loops should be used to keep the poncho in place while cycling. When it comes to maintenance, you can gently hand wash it in cold water. Don't use harsh detergents. After washing, let it air dry. Avoid ironing or using a dryer as this could damage the fabric and the DWR coating. Also, store it in a cool, dry place when not in use. This will help keep your poncho in good condition for many rides to come.
