Anyone have any suggestions? The bike is already fairly well outfitted for rain, I just don't have any gear for me
I've been commuting all year long for over a decade. Rain and snow. Never had health problems. Wrote most of my clothing experience and tips in this article:

In short - staying completely dry is second to getting wind protection. Change of clothes when reaching destination, fast drying clothes, then ride home.
