I use water proof shoe covers and the chaps, keeps me some what dry. For a real down pour and 8 hours in the rain nothing is as good as rain pants and shoe covers and water proof lobster mitts and rain cover on helmet. Only takes about 30 minutes to dress!

Probably a better way to deal with the rain is to accept you're gonna get wet, and wear clothes which will keep you warm when you're wet, and then be ready to change. It does not really get cold enough that you need super warm and dry gear, but you will need to have something which will breathe and be warm when damp, at least. Like a light jacket and a merino wool shirt.


ZING!

Yeah, it never rains in Hawaii.

My friend just bought 3 acres near Hilo so he can build a boat-building shop. Only a 10-mile bike ride to go surfing!

Don't bother, unless you like looking at new Cannondales.

Where would I find some decent rain gear??
I just moved here for good ol' Tennessee so I'm not sure how to handle riding in the rain.


where are you? we could help point and shove to the closest place.

also how far and how often do you expect to be riding?


capitol hill.
My work commute is 8 mi roundtrip 4/5 days out of the week.
