Yeah, staying dry under rain gear is tough, if the rain don't get ya
the perspiration will. The best I can hope for is to stay warm and to
dry off quickly. I've completely thrown off bicycle clothes for
performance fishing gear. Not only does this stuff dry out faster it
offers better UV protection. Plus, once I've got long pants and long
sleeves on I find that staying warm is a lot easier. I've got a tyvek
jacket, and most of other regular rain wear seems to work pretty well
over the fishing clothes.
