Your cycling wardrobe likely consists of wet-weather gear and dry-weather gear, with little overlap. Until recently, those really were the only options, with wet-weather gear that would leave you feeling bogged down and steamy when you get pedaling, and dry gear that just couldn't hold up to more than a couple of raindrops.
