I like a lightweight but layered kit.

A good wicking base layer
An insulated layer above that
A good waterproof breathable rain shell and pant above that.

For gloves again I typically go layered if I can in a very similar fashion but in some cases depending on weather I might just have an all in one glove or a base glove and then one that has insulation and waterproofness but especially something with OutDry (no more DWR and then waterproof sandwich just waterproof).

For my feet I typically will run a Neoprene bootie over my shoes and of course will make sure I have the cleat holes covered (tape or sticker) but sometimes just a little thicker sock and waterproof bootie depending on conditions.


Though when it is cold and raining I probably won't do a ton of riding. However in just summer rain, I prefer to go out in normal kit and just get soaked assuming I am headed home on a commute. As much I don't like being wet I strangely enjoy it when I don't have anything but kit on all my stuff is tucked away and waterproof and I can come home strip down to my proper attire and dry off by the fireplace YouTube video.
