I use a coated nylon rain jacket for protection in wet weather.  If the
temperatures are in the 30s and 40s F, I'm fine.  However, if the
temperatures are in the 50s and 60s F, I can end up almost as wet as if I
had been out in the rain with no jacket.  I stay warm as long as I'm
active, but then I need a complete change of clothes before I begin to cool
down.
