There's a thread going on regarding rain suits. I wanted to start a thread asking for experiences and recommendations for 'waterproof' jackets and pants.
Sometimes it's pain to stop and put on a rain suit. For day to day commuting when there's risk of rain, a jacket and pants that would be able to keep you dry for a one-hour ride through a moderate rain while maybe providing venting when it's not raining would make life easier. Of course, abrasion protection, impact protection, visibility are factors.
Is KLIM or AEROSTICH the only real solutions? I've been thinking about the Icon Patrol line - but some online reviews say they'll leak. If it was something where you have to install a rain liner, then we're back to the rain suit idea...
What do you have that works?
