First time for Rain Gear

Ayrtonf7

So I've recently moved house and my commute has went from 15 minutes to 50 minutes. I feel like anything more than a short drizzle now will just mean wet uncomfortable riding on the bike so I've decided to invest in some rain gear.

I've been looking online (most revzilla) but they only thing I've found that might be fitting.

I need something that's gonna keep the rain off for around 50-50 minutes then something that is easily packed away with minimal space.

I've heard two piece suits are the bees knees for keeping the water out, but I just think they might be a bit too bulky to be carrying around all day.

Anybody got any recommendations ? My price range is about 100€.

Is it worth the small bit you save online as apposed to going into a shop also ?

I've had an Oxford one piece rain suit for years. It needs replacing now but it was great at keeping rain out, it's awkward to get stuff out of your pockets but it might be easier to carry around, it's big enough rolled up, but it has it's own strap for carrying it Unfortunately then you have a ****ty looking plastic handbag to carry around. Here's a picture to give you an idea of the size, I didn't have a banana for scale, so I used a coke can.

I don't know if I'll replace it with a 1 or 2 piece. This one easy to throw over your shoulder to bring with you if it's not raining but might later but a 2 piece is easier to get in and out of.

The 2 pieces seem to come with separate bags for tops and bottoms, they look like they'd fit under the seat. I'll probably go with that
