Five Ten Trailcross Gore-Tex shoes. Years of blisters and wet feet in vans style shoes that were heavy, awlful to push up in and took ages to dry. I bought the none gore-tex version when they first came out like a dream to ride and walk in, quick drying but the waterproof onces are perfect for the UK where there's standing water 9/10 rides

In Singapore, where the humidity is in the high 90 percentage, most clothes get soaked quickly. Rain, thankfully, is not cold, and I tend to dry off quickly after the rain stops. I usually protect my money and phone from the heavy showers, rather than myself.

Waterproof over trousers are a game changer. They keep you dry and when you get back to the car you can just whip them off and you are still nice and clean for the car ride home.

I should bought sooner a water bottle with wider neck. It makes a huge difference. The ones with tiny necks are so tirering to drink of, especially during physical climbs. A dropper seatpost is the real game changer. So if you do not have it already buy one and see your self.

Why don't bike manufacturers build/ship their bikes with frame protection they designed themselves specifically for each bike? Because who doesn't want to protect their bikes. The same with mobile phones? Who doesn't install a protection foil?
