fenders are a godsend. I live in vancouver BC, aka Raincity. I ride with full fenders, with large leather mudflaps that divert the collected water down to the ground. my bike stays clean, My legs stay clean and almost dry, and my feet stay dry. combine fenders with a LIGHTWEIGHT rain jacket and a fast wicking layer underneath, thin gloves, and your good to go.
