Last night's ride home (in the dark) was an eye opener for me. Steady rain, +7C, weather I usually think of as very miserable. But I was comfortable, and enjoyed the ride. My windbreaker (old hockey jacket) was more waterproof than I thought, my water resitant track pants ($10AM on sale at Target) gave up their resistancy after about 20 minutes, but overall, it was a great ride. I'll be spending the bucks soon for Gore-Tex or similar jacket and pants, but the cheap stuff worked ok for last night!
