What sort of rainsuit do you have?

I have just invested in a set of wet weather gear

I went with the Dririder Jacket for $65, it fits well and the main reason I got it is I can put it on with my winter gloves, zips and all
There was so many out there that I couldn't do that with
I can also put in on using a set of these

I then purchased a pair of Katmandu leggings for $99, they are Goretex and have full length zips on both legs and straps to hold them up
They were clearing them out about a month ago, they were origianlly $400

They not only make me very dry they are great in the cold, I reckon they prob give me another 4 degrees warmth than without them

I bought an oringi stratford one piece - its like a pair of overalls but made from their flexible waterproof stuff (Felxothane). This is a heavy duty farm grade suit so it won't roll up as small as some of the light nylon suits you can get from bike shops - probably to about the size of a pair of thick pants
It is 100% waterproof, the stretch in the fabric also makes it very tough and resistant to holes and tears(and you can get a do it yourself repair kit if you do have to fix a hole), it doesn't flap or get noisey - but its not cheap. They were normally $240 but I got mine on one of their 50% off sales they have from time to time. (new catalogue just arrived and its now $260)
They have a website you can purchase off and look at the gear (oringi.co.nz)
I bought one the next size up to what I would normally buy and I can get it over all my riding gear - it has domes to tighten up around the boots ect once you've got it on. Its a bit hard to describe the way they have designed it to stop any chance of getting a wet crutch - but believe me it works. I had one trip relying on a pair of supposedly 100% waterproof riding pants and discovered that it leaked in the crutch - never again
The beauty of this suit on a really wet trip when you get off you are dry, the suit itself dries in a few minutes (and very quickly on the bike if it stops raining) whereas the likes of my DriRider Jacket absorbs a lot of water into the outer material, it takes quite a while to dry and when its wet of course its not as warm.
You can probably tell that I recommend these things quite highly
Good luck with those gloves - I don't think they will substitute for hot grips though!!
