Unless you guys are very extreme riders, I don't see much of a point of going all out with the Goretex gear. You'll probably have more fun just planning to go on a drier day. The clothing gets so "heavy" even if the water doesn't soak through.
Better to be dry than wet no matter what kind of a rider you are.

Anyone heading up to cypress soon? Or is season over pretty much.
