Slightly off topic about the pants: This summer I was riding in the rain
with rain pants and a new pair of white socks. The rain and oily spray totally stained my socks and likewise can't be washed out. I picked up some cylindrical plastic freezer bags from a local bagel shop (Finagle a Bagel here in Boston) and now wear these over my socks and tucked into the tops of the socks to protect that gap between the pants and the rain overshoes.
