Showers Pass makes some of the best bicyclist rainwear.

REI also makes a decent set of bike specific rain gear. For training, and local rides I use "booties" for foot protection. On tours I just know my feet are going to get wet and live with it. I wear Samrtwool wool socks year around and the feet stay warm most of the time. A helmet cover is also a good thing, especially if you plan on riding in the rain very often. In Oregon we ride in the rain a lot.

Sowers Pass jacket, REI pants. This combo has kept me relatively comfortable in some pretty serious rain. Taking refuge under a bridge out of the rain. We had 35 days of rain on this trip




My wife modelling the Showers Pass "Touring" rain jacket. This is a really nice jacket.
Actually she was getting out of the rain while watching our bikes. I was in a store doing some shopping.


Sometimes it is prudent to just take shelter rather than try to ride through it! Fietsbob, this is in Astoria.
