Dressing for rain

[Ed el Loco]

Stopped using rain pants years ago. Just let the shorts get wet. Hang them up at work to dry. Keep a supply of socks in the desk drawer. Good rain coat with big pit vents.
When the forecast says atmospheric river, forget about staying dry.

Hands: windstopper gloves. If hands get too hot, they come off during the ride.

Feet: when cold and wet: shoes, plastic bags, wool socks. That cut down the windchill for me when soaked. Never invested in waterproof shoe covers.

another pro-tip to consider... invest in a small ski boot dryer to plug in and stick under your desk at work. Cheap (<$50), quiet (very small fans), and extremely effective. I have a two-port so it handles the shoes and if they dry in time swap on the gloves. I think they come in 4 port models too. Nothing like toasty warm shoes for the ride home!

I have waterproof boots but that doesn’t help when the rain drops down my leg. Other than that part they are worlds better than shoe covers

yeah with shoe covers I had to overlap the top of my gortex pants over them
