I'm still struggling though the details when it comes to having the proper rain gear. I feel really good about a few things
1. the waterproof pants I have now keeping my dry and breathe well.
2. and a pair of rubbers to slip over my shoes. Both of those are working beautifully.
3. As I said in an earlier post, my ski helmet and goggles work really well in any cold weather, but they also perform nicely in the rain as well.


It's my upper body I can't get figured out. I have two "waterproof" or at least "windproof" coats that just aren't cutting it. They hold up for 5-10 minutes, but after that I begin to get that damp icky feeling on my arms and across my chest where the rain hits most directly.


I'm still trying to work it all out. The picture above is of all my gear drying out in my office. What I may have to do is have a change of clothes in a waterproof bag with me... This is because the more waterproof the gear is, the warmer I get while spinning the pedals along. My innermost layer was pretty wet today.... and I can't tell if it got that way from the outside in, or from the inside out.... geesh!
