What appeals to me about the Rainlegs chaps is that I can put them on right over my work pants for my commute, take them off at the bus station without looking like I'm doing a strip-tease, leave the wet chaps in my bike locker.

I sweat terribly, so I pretty much gave up on the idea of full lenth pants. The rain shorts in the Terry catalog intrigue me, but not so much for my commute. I'm hoping the chaps will ease the clammy-sweaty issue.
