Let me tell you though, when it's a beautiful warm sunny morning, getting up early in the AM and heading out on a bicycle is easy, BUT when you wake up to the sound rain on the roof and the weather comes on your alarm radio and lets you know it's 43 degrees outside... jumping in the truck sounds pretty darn good!! UNLESS!!! You can stay warm and dry of course! I have found that out over the years and the rain is no longer a threat to me. In fact, I enjoy it!
My clothing of choice for such days is a brand by the Name of Endura. I've been using the Endura Gridlock waterproof jacket and over trousers for the past couple months and have been caught in a handful of cloudbursts and remained dry! The Jacket is highly reflective, well vented and has plenty of pockets all over (inside and out) to keep all your carry alongs dry and a LED light strip across the back for a little more visibility once it gets dark out (which is happening earlier now) or to just flash on those dreary days. The over pants have reflective piping on the seems, a stretch waistband with an adjustable belt and are able to unzip about a foot up the leg or so to get a foot through with your shoe on if you would like. They also have Velcro strips lower on the legs to cinch them up so they don't get snagged in the chain or catch on your bottle cages!
Swing through the shop and check them out!! Mens and womens available in a choice of colors. Keep pedaling!!
