What to wear in the rain

[okgo]

As above, today was the first day in a long time I didn¡¦t cycle in, mainly because I slept for 2 hours last night and it was raining. So what do you wear when riding in the rain...? I only have a short distance to go, but want to know what I can wear that will keep me dry and warm, while allowing me to cycle quickly ƒº

Any help appreciated

Right so lets get this wrapped up...

I rode in this morning 4 miles - soaking.

Stupidly wore my boxers and they are soaked.

So, can I get waterproof shorts? If not what are next best bet.. Couldn't find the ones ewen mentioned..

Jacket, I can sort that from the advice above, I should add I don't have mudguards, should I bother?

Bike is a Rockhopper with slicks..

Yeh but I don't want to wear wet shorts on the way home....

Fair enough.

Well I think I will be buying one of those jackets listed, or something similar, I don’t sweat on the ride as its not far, so normal t-shorts will suffice. And I think I will look at some of these Endura shorts or something (not paying £50 for shorts). And the main lesson.. Take a towel and puts your socks and boxers on when you get there!!

The only hair you will be messing up is your eyebrows
