I'm thinking we should combine this Commuting in the Rain thread with the Do You Really Need to Shower thread. :p

Note that they don't have elastic in the leg cuffs, so you'll probably want a couple of those reflective slap bracelets to keep them away from your chain. Probably not a bad idea anyway, since FTs tend to be earth tones rather than hi-viz.

I think the last good drencher on the morning commute was also the last time I didn't feel the need to birdbath my crotch and armpits while changing. Maybe I need to mount a bottle of that camp soap that doubles as shampoo so I can just douse myself a few times in the middle of the ride next time it rains hard enough.
