I've got one of their rain capes and have the wind jacket coming. The rain cape, along with fenders on the bike, pretty much eliminates the need for pants. In the summer, who cares, in the fall/winter/spring I am usually wearing tights, though I do have a pair of nashbar crossroads pants in my saddlebag, just in case.
