Many years ago I bought a Goretex Cycling specific jacket. That is waterproof and the only problem I have is judging the number of layers to put underneath it. Too many and you sweat- Too few in cold weather and you freeze. Judge the layers right and Goretex Rules. Extremities are my problem. Feet cured with SealSkinz socks- They are waterproof and keep the feet dry and they stay warm. Ski mask- in horizontal rain and it takes the sting and cold away. Problem still with the hands but going for SealSkinz gloves. And Legs- Just a pair of Knickers to cover the knees and I am fine.
