Ok guys, I live in a rainforest and I don't have raingear. For trailriding what would you guys recommend? I have compiled my own list of things to get but am wondering if I missed anything. And also to you dh guys, do dh pants work well in the rain, I am not worried about water proof but pants that don't soak up water and get really heavy...

Cheers

1)A coat that you don't mind getting dirty.
2)Fenders.

Yeah, definitely need some fenders. I've got a clear Fox rain jacket that works wonders. I don't usually protect my lower body at all since it's practically impossible to keep that dry anyway.
