 ==Encyclopedia entry==
 {{encyclopedia|
 Cloaks are the universal outer garb of everyone who is not a Barbarian.  It is hard to see why.  They are open in front and require you at most times to use one hand to hold them shut.  On horseback they leave the shirt-sleeved arms and most of the torso exposed to wind and Weather.  The OMTs [ Official Management Terms ] for Cloaks well express their difficulties.  They are constantly _swirling and dripping_ and becoming _heavy with water_ in rainy Weather, _entangling with trees_ or _swords_, or needing to be _pulled close around her/his shivering body_.  This seems to suggest they are less than practical for anyone on an arduous Tour.
