The Gilles Berthoud is actually great in the rain. Unlike a Brooks it can handle getting wet just fine. I have it on my bike all year round and even on my cx bike. Mine is the brown version. After getting wet it looks a bit dull but when you ride it a bit in dry weather you bibs polish ittl to the point where it looks brand new. Mine has lasted like that for 5 years now and it is still my favorite.
