Clothes for rainy weather

Anyone have any suggestions for the best clothes to wear in rainy weather?
And also where to get them in London, or online?!
Cheerio!

coat, before someone else says it

ride naked, your skin is waterproof

If you type 'wet weather' in to the search function (^up there) you get these three threads. Two are quite old but should give you some clues. As for where to buy; try using the search for shops or on-line shops.

But are you made with the sweated labour of three year old Vietnamese children?

Rapha isn't which is why I would never buy it. Got to help those Vietnamese kids sweat somehow.

i got a £100 northface thing, waterproof and windproof.. Very thin and light so easy to carry about in bag. You do get what you pay for with these things.. Also.. a back mudguard to keep you're butt dry.

Waterproof zippers yes. Waterproof hoodie? I don't think so!

Aimed at walkers, but fantastic stuff all round: http://www.paramo.co.uk

I have a Pajaro coat, some waterproof trousers and a couple of Mountain Pull-Ons. I generally go walking in the Rhinogs late November/early December which is as good a test as you'll find in this country - they're ace.

I have some fantastic NF clothing that is a fair few years old, alas the new stuff is mainly for fashion purposes.

Yeah, North Face of the Bluewater...

Paramo is good, as are many soft shell options. Ideally you want something breathable and will allow condensation to get out - all well and good having a jacket keep you 'dry' only to boil in your own sweatiness. Montane do good high activity/multi activity breathable clothing - Pertex Equilibrium is a good fabric....I prefer that over Gore Tex
