RE: Rain Gear
One thing that I like about my 2-piece rain suit is that I use the pants as a wind layer over my mesh Olympia pants. I find this an easier option then using the liner pants that came with them if I think I'm going to need to un-layer during the ride.

RE: Rain Gear
I've given up on waterproof gloves...just carry extras and commit to getting them wet. I do have "lobster claw" overgloves...if my hands got too wet/cold I'd put on dry gloves and then the overgloves.

RE: Rain Gear
That's what I do, just ignore wet gloves. However, I switch the grip heating on, then the water is warm at least.

RE: Rain Gear
Learned a LONG time ago that an extra pair of dry gloves makes a lot of difference. Every bike has a decent pair of big box leather gloves under the seat, preferably deer skin.

Me too, ha ha! I have grip puppies on my bikes. One time they were steaming at a group ride gathering point!

True! And they come in handy as a wind break if the wind gets a bit colder than expected...keeps your hands a lot toastier.
