What are people wearing in these slightly grotty days or are you using the same stuff as you normally use but getting drenched!

Man up may work but i am just getting fed up with getting wet on every ride! I have a karrimor waterproof jacket that just about does a job but wandered about trousers etc

not sure about the lycra but would agree that skin is waterproof.

I wear the full length tights to stop getting slapped by brambles etc when in the forest. May have to ditch them really. Less stuff to peel off when back home!

skin is waterproof

this, at this time of year

I find wearing waterproof jacket/trousers or whatever I get just as wet from sweating, and really hot, so may as well stay cool and just get wet from the rain

i also don't like a load of clothes flapping around so the less I wear the better

What's the point? You will get wet after a while no matter how expensive your waterproofs are. Or sweat to death. When it's raining you only get wet once anyway, mtfu etc ๐Ÿ™‚

I want a short sleeve waterproof jacket for the wintertime... do they exist outside the golf world?

This is what i wanted to hear i suppose, the fact that it isnt really doable or practical. I shall just carry on getting soggy, was just getting a bit fed up with the rain.

Roll on winter, it seems to rain less!

Waterproof shorts (I prefer 3/4's ones), ace though a bit sweaty on warmer days.
A decent waterproof BUT must have pit zips, any waterproof is useless without them IMO (unless you move at a snails pace and so don't sweat).

Rainy days are the only time I wear lycra on commute, it doesnt feel soggy and it dries quickly ready for return journey. Montane event jacket and a pair of old spd as they stay wet all day and smell. Less is definitely best on warm wet days
