I generally try to avoid riding in the rain, but there are those days when there's a chance for the wet stuff and it really cuts loose. I keep my old GoreTex rainsuit (pants & parka) in saddlebags just in case. So far the goretex has kept me pretty dry. I couldn't get use to riding in the FT rain suit I got a couple of years back for backpacking. I dunno, The FT suit (pant and parka) seemed too flimsy to be very road worthy for very long. Both were packable enough, but the Goretex has been holding together much better than the FT suit.
