While this may sound trivial, what's the advantage of a rain jacket? I typically wear bike gear whenever I ride and getting it wet isn't a big deal, so I never saw any compelling reason to get the jacket.

Do people ride in clothes and use the rain jacket to keep the clothes dry? Is there a risk of getting sick when riding in the rain? Does a rain jacket keep you warmer when riding in cold rain?

Thanks in advance

Paul
