I will have to check this out, Bushman.

I prefer ponchos over all else. Rain clothes, no matter how breathable they are in theory, get clammy inside.

The best combo I have found is a bike with fenders and mud flaps and a good heavy-duty poncho. Want to get really fancy? - use gaitors on your legs too.

I picked up some ponchos in China a couple of years ago that are really neat. They have a clear plastic front area so that your lights will shine through them. I think these were actually designed for use with mopeds.

Still, the poncho/fender is not complete. From what I have found, when it rains, bicyclists get wet. You just want to reduce how wet you will be and try to ride in comfort as best as possible.
