• Hello there, fellow commuters.

    Commuting in the rain; what’s the strategy (besides mudguards), when there’s a shower waiting at work?

    Overshoes: yes, I reckon. What about legs and torso? Water resistant (long) bibs, and a waterproof jacket?

  • Long bibs seem to stay wet all day and are horrible riding in when soaked
    Unless it’s f’ing freezing I went through last winter in either normal bibs with leg warmers or 3/4 length ones without (both Planet X bibs and Rapha warmers)
    But then again I’ve full guards and flaps, but these do little in a proper downpour (even can’t keep the feet dry, use Galibier neoprene overshoes, which are good) and my commute is quite long
    Rapha rain jacket is super excellent but also can be pretty boil in the bag if it’s humid, I probably smell like a dead badger when I get into work lol
