Re: [RC] sneakers for riding - Jim Holland

Well Dang, nobody asked about that! Ya see..whatcha do is go to REI.com
and order a pair of Goretex pants...just the shell.  They have zip legs
so you can get them on and off over your boots.  Easy to carry...they
weigh nothing. Slip them on over your tights, wrap once with duct tape
to your boots...and ride DRY! In addition, they block wind...so are
useful in the winter as an extra layer over the tights. 'Course you will
need a waterproof jacket of some kind with a hood. (Actually, I prefer
duct tape over the helmet holes)

Actually, if it rains hard, you're gonna get wet anyway, no matter what
you do. I like the boots because they keep my feet dry thru all the mud,
bogs, creeks, and water splashing.

Waterproof is fine...if you can keep water out of the tops. When it
*really* rains "waterproof" actually means "will hold water". I've ridden
with a junior who had water funneling down her half chap into her
"waterproof" paddock boots which had water running over the tops.
