My five mile ride to the train station is long enough for me to get thoroughly drenched if it's raining hard enough, and while I don't really mind that, sitting on a commuter train for an hour in sopping wet clothes, especially if the air conditioning is going, is no fun at all. I have tried a lot of different rain gear solutions, and have never found one that really works. I pretty much try to avoid it now.
On the way home, I don't mind. I get wet... then I get home... no big deal.
Where (on your body) and how(does the rain get in) when you are riding in rain gear?
i ride a lot in the rain, and I virtually never get wet from the rain. My commute has intense hills, so sometimes I get pretty sweaty. Also, I MTB a lot in the rain, and mostly get sweaty, not wet from the rain.
