Riding in the rain.

Share/Save

Fun little Pearl video about riding with PRO Barrier WxB Jacket in the rain. I can confirm that the jacket is completely waterproof! If you are going to be hammering you don't need any rain gear depending on how cold it is. But if you want to stay completely dry and warm, laugh at the most severe day long monsoons, and if you want to just enjoy the ride completey dry at 70 percent max heart rate or lower and not not sweat, get a full kit with head cover coming down over your jacket collar, sleeve cuffs covering your waterproof gloves and pants covering the tops of your 9" high waterproof booties. If you are wanting to stay warm and worried about heat loss I recommend adding items in this order: Start with the head, then feet, followed by hands, upper body then lower body being covered. For rain protection in order of importance I would recommend: Jacket first, then pants, gloves, feet and head.
