I'm right on the coast, rain squalls off the ocean (or out on it)
dump a lot of water down in a short time .

this winter a Rain Cape from Grundens thru Riv Bike, and a Souwester hat
seam welded nylon backed pvc
from the local Marine supplier,with a watch cap underneath,
a pair of LL Bean half rubber boots
and a light pair of rainpants, and gloves ,

and I made it thru the storms on my trips to and from the town center
all winter.. and I was fine ..

heading into gales to get home was interesting,
as the following wind was rewarding.


my bike : rohloff hub disc brake bike friday
mudguards , dyno hub lights , front panniers

and a thick plastic saddle cover formerly filled
with 5L of wine.
