Any suggestions on rain gear for running? I'm not concerned about speed but staying dry whilst still getting out there. Thought maybe you guys would have some input. I haven't looked into it yet but decided today it's time. Thanks! Beverly

Hi Beverly - I will second Todd's vote. I have used all sorts of other materials from Marmot, Columbia, TNF, etc.

While these products all kept the water out, I ended up soaking wet. And I mean drenched - Wet. I mayge saved more than a few bucks, but it was NOT worth it.

I'd go with Gore-Tex, I have yet to find another material that can equal it, although they all claim breathability.

Any one else??

Update: I bought gore-tex pants and a jacket at Bass Pro Shop and was happy with the price I paid.

Performance Bike is mostly a biking store, but you can cross over some gear for running. One of the best places (price wise) is Sierra Trading Post. They sometimes have great deals, but the inventory is hit and miss. Both have online stores. JC1.5
