I really dislike rain pants, so it's got to be pretty wet and cold before I put them on. For now, I'm using my Pearl Izumi Amphib tights. They're highly water and wind resistant and on the fronts, so your thighs and shins are protected but the rest of your leg can breath. I really like them, but I have a friend who hates them, but what does he know?
