I wear a yellow poncho in the winter when it rains, with a sweater underneath. In the summer, with the heat and humidity, I usually just get wet. The rain, in my opinion, feels better than sweating,(and getting just as wet,) under rain gear. I hate to tell you there's no way to keep dry in summer, but it's true. This is the confederacy.
Its not that I mind being wet, its that I mind looking like I swam to school. In a light rain I just grab a light jacket(one of my running ones) and go, but in the spring rains texas likes to have I'd be drier swiming)
