The cloak, hands down, especially the hooded cloak. They're warm, they're comfortable, and they billow about in the wind. Plus they just look hella cool.

Who doesn't like a codpeice?
Cloaks are grand, quite warm in the cold and wet too.

Have you ever worn a codpiece? They're...interesting.
Cloaks are fantastic. You can protect not only yourself from the elements, but also things you're carrying, bags on your shoulders, etc. The only problems I've encountered are that they tend to snag on things if you're not careful, and they're a real pain to wear while driving (I always choke unless I unclasp it). Also, if you walk around your neighborhood at night, some busybody may call the cops on you -- that happened the last time I wore one while working. The officer was very nice and all, but asked me not to 'frighten people' anymore, so I stopped wearing it. It was really good at protecting what I was carrying from falling snow though.

Seconding the Kimono. I really should get a traditional one, one of these days. The one I do own is... well... not, exactly...

I love cloaks too. I ran out of gas once after a con and had to walk a long way on the highway in cold rain. I was all cosy except for my feet.

I'm going to back the cloak. The thicker ones especially. The only problem is that they drag the ground (if you get full length which I prefer) and snag and choke ... eh, I suppose there are a few issues with ith.

I find there are graceful ways to hold the cloak so it do4esn't drag in the rain though. I also hold the front seam from the inside to limit the choking thing, or run the clasp through my shirt lacing.
