Infinity Goods rain suit: divide it by one local transit fare and you have your break-even in wet rides

Start with the figure nobody explains. A waterkolom of 2000 mm means the fabric holds back a two-metre column of water before it lets any through. The industry treats roughly 1500 mm as the threshold at which something may be called waterproof, so 2000 mm sits comfortably above the pass mark without being high. Where does the difference show? Wherever pressure concentrates: the two patches under a rucksack strap, and the contact area with the saddle. The pressure there is far greater than falling rain applies, and that is exactly where rainwear at this price leaks first. Knowing that tells you the fix, which is to put weight in a basket or pannier rather than on your back.

The break-even is direct and runs on your own numbers. Divide the price of the set by a single bus or tram fare in your own city, and the answer is how many times you would have to abandon the bike for public transport in the rain before the suit has paid for itself. The Netherlands records well over a hundred days with precipitation a year, and a commuter easily meets dozens of them across one autumn and winter. For most daily cyclists that division lands on a comfortably small number. Turn it around, though, and the maths flips: if you already commute by tram and only cycle occasionally, the answer grows large enough to skip it.

The trousers are the reason to buy a set rather than a jacket. People who buy the jacket alone tend to arrive with soaked thighs anyway, because the riding position points them straight at the rain. The set also lists reflective elements, which matter more than they sound: Dutch afternoons start darkening well before five in late autumn, and being seen is a more immediate safety question than staying dry. Two honest caveats: no struck-through former price is shown, so this is not a promotional figure, and a 2000 mm rating should not be expected to behave like specialist cycling kit through two solid hours of heavy rain.Source 1

Hokimi field note: size up so the trousers pull straight over jeans, otherwise stopping to change defeats the point.
