I figure I'll be wearing a waterproof shell and pants anyway that will shield my clothes from the stuff that gets through. By the way, I chose the same back rack as my wife's so I can borrow her trunk with fold down panniers. I also bought a rain cover that specifically fits this trunk/pannier bag.
Does anybody keep a pair of rims fitted with studded tires and a pair of rims with regular tires, so you can choose depending on the road conditions?
Update:
Front light: Cygolite Epsilon 250
Back light: RAdbot 1000
Ortlieb classic roller back panniers
Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. I really appreciate it.
