The timig of this is funny to me. I've been looking for a very nice pair of rain pants. I have a great jacket and I've figured out how to pack it in my pannier so that it's easily accessible. The ***** in my armor is the lack of protection for the legs.

my commute is only 20 minutes but my previous feeble attempts at wearing quick drying pants or shorts resulted in embarrassing tent city-esque clothes drying strategies at my cubicle that didn't go over well with my boss.

I think the Cape is great for those who like it, but I cant seem to get over the look of it. Good for you for figuring out a better way. There always a better way.
