This a thousand times over!

Here in the Pacific NorthWet, I sometimes wear a rain jacket, but I've never worn rain pants. I find that it's much more important for me to stay warm than dry (since I work up a sweat anyway), and to that end, windbreak layers and wool are my go-to for wet weather. The Ibex wool knicker, though not my favorite chamois, has kept me cosy and warm on some pretty wet and cold rides. Though not wool, I really like the Rapha winter cycling tights/bibs too. They are somewhat wind resistant, and have a fleece inside that is super soft, causing me to call them my "Rapha jammies".
