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.
+1 what that guy said.
My commute is about ten miles one way and I do it year round here in the rainy NW. I've had good luck with a Novara Stratos Bike Jacket for going on two years now and I would buy it again without giving it a second thought. It is also on sale now for a good price if you like the SPICE color.
