What do people recommend in terms of wet weather gear? I've got a waterproof ladies Madison jacket which is just brilliant and keeps me dry on the top half but the last couple of days I've realised I'm lacking in the bottom half department.
I don't really own much in the way of cycling specific garms even though I've been using my bike as my main mode of transport for about the last 2 years. As I have to wear fairly formal stuff at work I just tend to wear shorts or skirts with thick leggings/footless tights which has usually done the job. The last couple of days though it hasn't...cycling with a soggy bottom is no fun, even if you can have a hot shower at the other end!
What do people recommend in terms of trousers/leg wear etc for really heavy rainy days? Other people have just told me to get some waterproof over trousers but I hate them. Anything else? Have been looking at these trousers on swrve - does anyone else have them: http://swrve.co.uk/softshell%20trouser.html
Any other top tips?
