I generally shower at each end of my commute, so the only thing that I worry about in the rain is if it will change the way I want to dress for temp. Both of my commute bikes have full coverage fenders!MarkSan Jose

Hah! Available right when it dries up around here. :-PAh well, the last few years of commuting in the winter has layered me with quite a few things that I know work.

A dorktacular Rain Cape from CAT Oregon, fenders, and a cap pulled low over my glasses are my secret weapon.The hardest part is ignoring how everyone stares at me – especially other cyclists. Sometimes they actually point. I can't be the only person in Seattle with a rain cape, right?

I would never wear that for lots of reasons, but I hope it helps some people get out in the rain.Today I rode in the rain and wore a regular trench raincoat and knee-high boots (high-heeled leather lace-up ones, not galoshes). The bottom of my skirt and top of my tights were ridiculously wet but dried quickly, and the rest of me was cozy.

Who would want to wear something so baggy on a bike?

I always palp fenders on my commuters in the rain. I agree that suit would make you just as wet as riding without it. I have a Shower Pass jacket and sometimes curate rain pants to contrast. If it's not too cold I just need shorts and knee warmers.

People really point and stare?@Dottie – Skirt and tights in the rain? You rule.@Missjulied – gotta love the flap-flap-flap of plastic in the wind.

@Isolation: Indeed. There's nothing wrong with just getting wet.

Well, once they did. It didn't seem like they were mocking me. Mostly I just see people's heads pivot as I ride by.

This is absolutely ridiculous. I guess that this suit will cost more than the best fenders, but it will also cost you your dignity and reputation 🙂
