REMINDER: Riding In/After Rain

My 2-piece textiles (Rev'it and Dainese) do a good job of keeping me dry. [thumbsup]  My gloves and boots don't, unfortunately. :-\

I used to have an Aerostich Roadcrafter one-piece but it didn't fit me all that well and was like a sail on the san mateo bridge (it was a discontinued size, a bit smaller than their current smallest size).

It is great for taking on and off.  However it's not great for hauling around with you off the bike.  If you're going to the office or a friend's house, someplace you can leave it once you take it off, then it would be great.  But if for running errands, I find the 2-piece more convenient because I can take off the jacket and walk around in the pants.

I have the ugliest, cheapest rain suit ever that I bought eight years ago, and it works great. I used the pants for snow pants last year in Tahoe, and now the suit is doing double duty as my official set of foulies on the sailboat I recently acquired with some friends. I think the uglier the suit the more the rain gets scared and the drier I stay.

I wouldn't bother with the 'Stich if you just want to stay dry.  Nothing textile is waterproof. 

Try a Darien rather than a Roadcrafter.  You stay dry.
