          Friends, netters, cyclists, lend me your ears:

               I am looking for a medium to  high  quality  rain  suit
          that  could  serve  double  duty  as  a wind breaker in cold
          weather.  Light weight would be nice as I  tour  under  mid-
          western  conditions (20 deg. C in the post noon, 0 deg. C in
          the pre-dawn) and need  to  pack  and  unpack  it  often;  I
          *don't*  want  to sacrifice waterproofness for weight reduc-
          tion.  I think it should be  ``bicycle  cut''  but  I'm  not
          sure.  My research indicates that GORTEX stuff is the way to
          go but again I'm not sure.

               I ride a lot of road miles in cool/cold  weather,  com-
          mute in the slush and the rain, and occasionally wear a lit-
          tle mud.  I'd like something  that  is  relatively  easy  to
          clean and care for.  I'm willing to pay as much as is neces-
          sary to get a quality product.

               Manufacturers,  distributors,  mail  order   addresses,
          prices,  caveats:  I will greatfully receive any suggestions
          you might have.
