Do you wear rain gear when biking in wet weather?

If yes, what type of rain gear do you wear? Just a raincoat, or do you also wear rain pants?
 
A lightweight waterproof jacket with rain pains and gloves are usually what I dress up in whenever I'm going to ride in a wet weather. Currently, I'm using Men's pro team gore -tex rain jacket, AGU tech rain pants and Sealskinz bodham gloves.

I have a Baleaf brand raincoat that I will wear but that's about all I wear for the rain.

I won't ride in wet weather when it's cold outside. I just can't do it. I'll hike instead :D

You already know that I don't do so well in hot weather, so I would very much be very much willing to ride when it's wet because it's note comfortable for me. I'm built better with cold 😂
 
Right.

I've definitely biked in cold weather before, though.

How challenging is it for you to ride when it's snowing? I can see snow in those pictures but I guess they are not heavy.
 
On the gravel or mountain bike, it isn't too bad. The slushy mud under it is worse than the snow.

It's never easy riding in any kind of mud because it prevents movement. It can easily get you stuck and if your balance isn't steady, might result in falling down.
 
I've definitely went down in the snow, too! LOL

Imagine that in the mud, you're going to look like shît 😂. I tried as much as possible to master using my legs to try and prevent a full fall whenever I'm going to be unfortunate 😩

This is just the tyre spinning mud on her back when riding and it's that way, picturing how nasty that's going look if she fell in mud is giving me goosebumps 😂 😂

Btw, her physique looks very good.
