Waterproof options

Waterproof options

Got drenched this morning on the way in, so much so that I was actually thinking about taking the car next time it’s raining, such horrible thoughts. I apologised to my bike for mentally cheating on it while riding and promised I won’t act on my devious thoughts.

Anyways… my gear is drip drying on a rack close to a radiator, and jumper is on said rad as it’s soaked too.

I normally treat my jacket and pants with a rain sealant or wax of some sort, e.g. Oxford rain seal or Nikwax, but haven’t done that since end of last summer. What do you guys recommend treatment wise?

Also, does anyone have any specific recommendations for waterproof overalls?

My gear is Dainese gore tex, a bit old (6 years I think?!) but in very good condition so no need for replacement yet at all, it’s just a tad leakier than it was in it’s heyday.
