Dev Blog: Skillcape Perks
Quick find code: 380-381-222-65680392
First of all, let me start by saying I find it very unfortunate the Sailing skill did not make it pass the 75% threshold. The fresh ideas, much needed new content and activities would have greatly improved the game. Since you guys (the mods) invested so much time and effort into it, my suggestion would be to further improve the already existing ideas by tweaking it where needed. I am very sure that the reworked Sailing skill will pass the 75% threshold in a re-poll. With help & suggestions from the community and additional changes made, I am positive an overwhelming majority of our community will vote yes. It would be such a huge shame to just leave it hanging there, especially since the poll was a mere 7% short of the 75% threshold.
As for the Skilling cape perks, here are my personal suggestions:
Fishing cape: the ability to wield your rod and other fishing tools. This not only frees up one inventory space, but it will look very cool to wield, especially in combination with the newly released Angler fishing outfit. If axes and pickaxes can be wielded, then why not your fishing gear?
Firemaking cape: the ability to burn logs in your inventory by just right-clicking on it, without the need for a tinderbox. The reasoning behind this is that it likewise frees up one precious inventory space as well as making Firemaking slightly more enjoyable to further train after level 99 is reached. Firemaking being one of those fast skills players train even after level 99 for ranks and even 200M experience, the one extra inventory slot would make it much more enjoyable.
Smithing cape: the ability to wield your hammer. This frees up one extra, very important inventory slot. How many times we all have faced the situation in which we were smithing something and came short just 1 more metal bar to smith one more additional piece of armour/weapon every full inventory? This can add up quite a lot.
BTW: the Sailing cape looks amazing with the rudder!

I think it makes more sense to have the Hitpoints cape act as a permanent ring of life versus having it as the Defence cape.
For the Defence cape, since def pots are pretty worthless by themselves anyway, have it act as a super def boost you can use every 5 mins. In essence it's like the super str boost you get using the Dragon Battleaxe spec, which I think is every 5 mins.
Hope my idea helps.
EDIT: The ring of life effect does seem a little OP, but this is why it should be on the HP cape even more so versus the Def cape. In theory 99 HP takes 3x longer than 99 in Atk, Str, or Def.
