Those rainlegs look interesting but would never work up here with our constant rain, even with a cycling rain jacket, I think. I have the REI pants, and they have worked fine, and they close with velcro and zip off over shoes, which is nice. I also have the REI rain jacket with the long tail that velcro-s in when not in use, and that really helps to channel the rain. I also really appreciate having waterproof shoe covers, and need to get a helmet cover also.
