Default Stupid question....
When riding in cold wet weather, do you wear your leather jacket on the inside or outside of your rain gear?

Inside. In heavy rains or extended periods of rain, the leather will start to soak up the rain, making the jacket water-logged.

In light rain or shorter trips, I just wear my leather though.

Yeah, well right now my north windows are covered with ice to the point I can`t see out of them. I opened my automatic chain driven gate so the links wouldn`t freeze, and not allow me to re-open it.

That is a stupid question.

Inside, otherwise it gets wet. Unlike superman, I also wear my pants over my underwear.

I wonder how "water-logged" the cows get when it rains?

I wear my leather inside if it's raining, outside if it's just cold.
