I disagree.
Learning how to stray warm while wet is one option, I prefer arriving dry. It's not that hard to arrive not covered in sweat. Dont wear too many layers, and wear well made cycling gear in material like event, with lots of venting. No one said you wont sweat either. Just like in summer, climbing a hill in summer i sweat, just that it clears quickly. Good raingear is the same, you'll sweat but the gear has enough breathability and ventign that it all clears in minutes.
I agree that previous so called breatahable waterproof materials sucked, like goretex. But times have improved, and that coupled with good base layers like powerdry, there are a lot of users on here who like me arrive dry.
I also hate putting on cold wet clothes at the end of work, thats why i figured out the "arrive at work dry" method.
