I like the rain cloak (and shelter) by Onewind. The cloak drapes over backpacks or bags, reducing wear on the waterproof surface. The hood is adjustable and spacious. Also, I like that a cloak will fit when my weight fluctuates.

Have you considered a rain cloak? The rain cloak (and shelter) by Onewind is amazing! I wear it as everyday rain gear instead of a rain jacket. The hood is spacious and adjustable. The cloak drapes over backpacks, shopping bags, and even children. I have yet to use it as a shelter or while biking, but here is a review from a cyclist:

It began to rain as I rode my bicycle down a local gravel road. I put on the rain cape, pulled the hood over my helmet, and threw the front of the cape over my handle bars. I stayed magically dry. Can’t wait to sleep in the shelter; what a system!

I use a soap bag. Place a bar of soap in the bag. Soap lathers well through the loose weave. Sisal or cotton fibers exfoliate your skin as you scrub. Then hang it by the drawstring to dry after each use.

I have been using mine for several years. I do not know the brand, but these look similar: soap saver bag from Golden Forrest and sisal soap bag from Olivaris Organics.
