OKAY, I have just read this thread "first wet commute - yuk"
http://www.cyclechat.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=13517
and it has given me some questions about waterproofs.. I am thinking of buying some waterproof over trousers and jacket, but i have always been someone who sweats a lot, and after reading this, am now wondering if its really a good idea??
i dont have any plans to start wearing all this special cycling gear, and currently commute in combat pants/shorts and t-shirts, the thing is its really shi**y getting to work soaked!- its bearable on the way home as you can have a shower and stuff to make yourself fell better..- but my work has no such luxuries- in their opinion were lucky theres a (dirty and scummy) disabled toilet to get changed in.
i was wondering what different ways some of you deal with the rain??- ie what you have tried and did or did not work for you, and which waterproofs are better than others, i mean lining/no lining, breathable/ not, ponchos/ top and trousers etc, as opposed to actual brands..
thank you very muchly.
