Depends on how cold it is. If it’s just rain, I use a normal
lightweight raincoat like everyone has here west of the Cascades, then an
appropriate number of layers under it to stay warm. I don’t worry about
my legs – if it’s cold, I use polar fleece tights. I use ordinary
SSG gloves, which do get wet, but if there’s not direct contact with the
air, it seems to work well enough. I ought to get some sort of cover for my helmet.
If it’s really chilly, then one of these Aussie slickers
is good – they come in different weights and do well at keeping the
runoff from getting into the saddle and protect the upper legs, but if you’re
moving, they get warm in a hurry.

Due to the weather, what does everyone use to keep dry when
riding in the rain? Where is the best place to get this kind of stuff? Thanks
