I've got Goretex riding gear, but, on days like Sunday (absolutely torrential rain - they ended up closing the Waikato Expressway at Mercer due to flooding), it still gets wet through [eta: not through the seams - mostly at the edges ie cuffs, then if the liner gets wet it wicks water through] . Simply too much moisture. I have a 2 hour drive every weekend, so I can't pick my riding time to suit the weather.
What's the best way to get the gear dry, pronto?
I've tried spinning in the washing machine to fling excess out, but doesn't seem to work with the goretex like it used to with my ex's dririder (though maybe that says something about water repelling capability...)
I live in an apartment so I'm limited to indoor drying areas only (ie, the bathroom) on days where the rain is coming sideways. On fine days, I have a balcony, but on those days my gear doesn't get soaked. On Sunday I hung the jacket and pants to drip over a towel, and removed the liners to dry in the dryer, figured at least the inside layer would be dry in the morning...
