Thanks for all the replies. The weather this mornig was just as bad as yesterday. The main highway here in Tel Aviv was closed due to flooding, causing huge traffic everywhere. Took me an extra 5 minutes to get to work because I pedal slower in waterproof pants :)
Michael - Yes, I am really in Tel Aviv Ted - Maybe the Nashbar socks are not real neoprene. They are good in light rain but when if it's really wet they get saturated and hold water like a wet suit. Definately not just sweat. Bruce - I have looked at seal skinz but was put off by the price. The issue for me is that it doesn't rain here very often, but when it does can come down in buckets a few days in a row. So I would need several pairs of $35 sox which which I would use only a few times a year. Next time I'm feeling flush. We don't get real winter weather here, and people really overreact to rain. Some friends started up a Friday afternoon pub/music thing a few weeks ago. More people showed up during the war with Gaza when rockets were falling than the following week when it was raining. Funny world. Or maybe not so funny.
