What gear and what PEV do you use in the rain?

Rainy season just started hitting here in Portland and I’m riding a G2 ninebot because I’m not comfortable with the water proofing on the S18 monowheel

    Waterproof over-trousers (Regatta Stormbreak) and a cheap rain jacket. I was contemplating a poncho, but ultimately settled on the rain jacket as it’s more portable.

    I had a nice breathable rain jacket before, but the waterproofing got ruined after I washed it with the wrong stuff.

    Current bike is non-electric, but has front and rear fenders to keep most of the muck away from my shoes and my back. My previous bike had no fenders and uh… there was always a long brown line down my back after arriving at work wet 😅

      If you still have the old rain jacket its pretty easy to restore the DWR treatment with a product called nikwax.
