These are a great addition to your bicycle touring kit list. Cycling shoes are notoriously non-waterproof, so apart from spraying with Scotchguard, what can you do? A pair of overshoes will keep the rain off and keep your feet warm too. They never can be 100% watertight since the cleat and heel positions are open. However if you silicone up any holes in your shoes in these places they'll do just fine.

These are great jackets for what they do. They are nice and light, pack up small and keep the rain out when it's pouring down. The additional visibility with the reflective fabric really stands out so I feel safer in bad conditions. Keeps the wind off nicely too and I've recently been through some filthy weather with one of these on and kept reasonably dry! Worth it and highly recommended.

A simple but effective idea which you miss if you haven't got one. Nice and bright too which helps when cycling in the rain. I stow mine in my CamelBak backpack and bring it out when the rain comes. An inexpensive item to keep the rain off your head.

Keeping your hands dry when cycling is essential. Once they get wet, the continual airflow over your hands will make it very uncomfortable – same with your feet. These gloves have served me well in the wet and cold. Being fully waterproof, they are warm, breathable and have a good grip. Another great feature is that I can still use my iPhone while I'm wearing them, as opposed to removing them each time I need to use it.

In conjunction with your cycling overshoes and cycling shoes, a pair of waterproof socks are a good investment. If your expecting rain then stick them on to ensure your feet don't get wet. Wet feet are not pleasant at all on cycle tour so keep your feet nice and dry with these socks.
