I'm thinking about adding them to the SV for that reason, in the off chance I get caught in the rain. I don't know what would happen to me if I got water on my arms. I might melt. I just can't come up with ANY other solution that would keep water off me when it's raining. I wish someone would come up with some sort of device, maybe made out of plastic fiber, or even cowhide that would... perhaps cover my arms or torso during inclement weather. Bonus if that device would offer some other type of protection beyond rain water when I'm riding. If someone could come up with something I could wear on my head to protect my eyes from bugs as well, that would be great -- or else I'll be forced to get a 8' tall windscreen too.
