Default Am I wet or not.....

Just got in from work, having ridden hoe in a downpour. Wearing my new HG waterproof trousers http://forums.sv650.org/viewtopic.php?t=35511. I've been pleased with them so far, warm and comfortable without being too thick or bulky. Anyway, after five minutes I felt soaked to the skin from the waist down. On getting home however, I found I was actually completely dry Is this normal for wearing textile trousers?

Not that much! I felt drenched, and I can't see that being sweat caused by raining.

maybe you were just cold, the rain might have got through the outer layer, and sat closer to your skin and then the wind has made it cold ????

I'd have been warm if I'd p****d myself, not cold.
