Netherlands, right?
Vaude drop pants II, a decent made rain trouser which is not a “hobbezak”.I have used the rain legs, but these only help when there is a drizzle. Not for a full rain shower. In the end I threw my rain legs away. When there is a small drizzle, I do not need any protective gear. When I do need to protect my jeans from rain, there is such an amount of water that the rain legs are useless.
And while you are at it, buy a set of Vaude overshoes as well. Otherwise your shoes and socks will get wet twice as fast as all water from your rain pants runs into your shoes. I’m using the bike gaiter short. Just for keeping the water out during my commute.

It's the time of the year again to bump this thread.
I'm commuting by bike and it's about 6 miles/ 9 km one way. Not enough to put on a cycling kit but enough to get completely soaked when it rains. Normally I just ride in my jeans, would it be a good idea to buy a rain suit? Any recommendations for something not too sweaty?
Thanks!!
