Polarfleece is the only thing I can count on to keep me warm
on rainy rides. Anything will get wet sooner or later if it rains
enough,  but the synthetic fleece keeps the body warmth in.

I just finished my first 25mi endurance ride at the Cougar Prowl.  I had a
great time and was really pleased with the welcome from all the endurance
folks and ended up being really pleased also with my great horse.   However
the weather was LOUSY.  Question?  Is there really any such thing as
waterproof gear you can wear and stay dry all day long while riding a horse
or do you just get wet a take as many clothes as possible to change into as
often as you can?  Does GORETEX loose some of its magic after a year or
two?  Hope to hear from someone with a REAL solution.  Dry Rain Gear? is
that a Oxymoron?
