I wanna come to work with you. We do have a shower but it's in the autopsy room....and no one uses it, not even the dead.

Great foul weather gear report. As I suspected, it's hard to buy the "perfect" rain gear. Mostly we seem to make do with what we have.

I'm lucky by comparison. I only have to bike a couple of miles to a bus stop and can wait till the hard rain is over and catch a later bus if needed. On the other hand, I bike in the clothes I work in, mainly because I'm lazy and determined to avoid the hassle of changing, so I tend to OVERDRESS to keep warm and dry.

CuddlDuds camisole and long johns, dress knit slacks, rain pants, pullover knit shirt, polartec vest, and a mountain-climbing "Belay" jacket with a hood that is fantastic for fitting over the helmet AND keeping the wind and rain out. The rain pants are too long but that makes them almost cover my feet which still get somewhat wet. Gloves are a dilemma. I still haven't found good gloves but with only two miles to bike to the bus I just tough it out. That will change as the temperatures drop.
