in summer rain I wear cycle shorts and running vest - nothing cotton though coz it gets heavy and clings.

are we talking drizzle or RAIN?

what if it is chillier?

summer - just a vest, get wet!

it's actually nice running in the rain.. I love a good down pour!..

cycle shorts and a vest top here too.. if it's a bit colder I put on a light weight wind proof thing ( it's actually for cyclists.. but it's great)

I love running in the rain! Synthetic clothes and mud splashing up your legs - lovely jubbly

I agree, I prefer running in rain. Often get too hot in sunnier weather.

Another rain lover. If it's really cold, I wear full length running tights but usually 3/4 length plus my cycling jacket. That usually gets wrapped around my waist after a while and I just get wet.

Crucial thing for me is proper running socks that wick water away from your feet so you don't feel as if they're wet or get blisters.

Yes to running in the rain.

I have goretex trail shoes if I'm running a particularly wet & muddy track. And I have a Puma running jacket, it's not waterproof but it keeps drizzle off.

Really I'm not that fussed about getting wet, I just have a hot shower when I get home.

I love running in the rain - keeps me nice and cool. If it's very heavy I add a waterproof gilet to my usual running gear.

Mmmm, running in the rain is lovely Running tights & vest top for me. Running jacket on top if cold as well as wet.
