sburns

So I did a trip around lake superior this week. The weather was near perfect, except for an afternoon near Green bay heading towards Mackinaw City I hit a nasty thunder storm. I had to pull over as I could not see. Waited and continued. I didn't have rain gear on as it was sunny where I left, and hit the storm on the way. No time to put it on either. But shortly after this stop it was sunny again, and I dried off. But then hit some more rain, only light this time. I just switched jackets (textile to leather for warmth) and didn't bother with rain gear and I was ok.
I had purchased a rain suit from Canadian Tire to have something. A wetworks jacket and pants. I also had a poncho as well. But as explained I really didn't need either. I can see if your day starts out with rain it would be useful and you have to get going.
I most likely will return the wetworks gear, but should I be looking at something else or keep it?
I guess the idea for rain gear is to go over your regular gear?
