I wore waterproof trousers today; I don't mind getting home in wet kit, but I really hate putting on wet kit to ride home.

MTFU the lot of you. Are you battle scarred commuters or shaven legged roadies?

Carry some waterproof overtrousers and overshoes in your bag.

When it's dry don't wear 'em, when it's wet put 'em on.

Job done.

(Oh yeah, and your shoes aren't soaked either).

Ewwwww waterproof trousers are what you would ahve to wear in hell... perhaps with a pac-a-mac too. God they're awful.

I tend to just get wet. Turns out my skin is waterproof, lucky hey?

If I'm not in a soggy mood, Rainlegs are a great compromise.

I use featherlite pants, which I have just "waterproofed" - they are not waterproof, but still not too sweaty, and do keep much of the rain off me.

Form reading other threads on other forums I think the biggest issue is quality control - they don't seem to have any. I use a pair of sealskinz unpadded "grippy" gloves and they are fine, but I think I might have been lucky...
