I got out my softshell for next week also since the showers are starting.
I also have the same problem with legs and water. I currently wear some mec windproof pants. The fronts are wind/water proof but the backs are lycra. For shoes i wear sandals and sealskinz socks. (the sandals dry in 30 min at work) But if its a downpour, enough water runs down my legs and into my socks from the top. So im currently trying to find a foolproof way to stop water from getting in the top but without sweating to death. Sealskinz apperently makes a style that has a seal around the top, but i cant find any in town.
Looked at marmot precip pants today that were on clearance, but i dont like the baggy rain pant style. So i looked at some waterresistant tights, the Sugoi ones are too thick so too warm for our winters. Headed to mec tomorrow, they advertise some for 65.00 cdn that are made from stretch entrant waterproof material but without taped seams. Hopefully they work.
