Default Different weather, different gear...?

Do you have different types of gear for certain types of weather? I pretty much have gear for the different types of weather I am exposed to in the SF Bay Area, except for waterproof pants. h:

Frog togs really work, but of course they are ugly as sh!t. But you gotta remember the feet as you probably know. They get wet in like .02 seconds. Some gortex boots are said to be your best bet for warmth and dryness.

I dont have gear for the rain , I try to avoid it.

For cold weather I use my Dainese jacket w/ liner and a bunch of layers inside , windbreaker type pants over my jeans , SIDI's w/ fox river socks , and just bought some ICON gloves with an inner fleece liner. The gloves do a great job in keeping the cold out but is to much glove to feel the controls.
