I'm obsessed with the Carrie. As far as I can tell, I don't really have a use for it or a place to store it right now. But, retirement is just a few years ago, and I'm fantasizing about taking my dog on long rides (or even just to the dog park), making Costco runs, and so forth. This is nothing...

I use a set of REI branded rain pants. They're pretty easy to get over my regular pants. They have a nice feature where the waist has velcro strips that you loosen when putting the pants on and then reattach once they're up. Maybe all rain pants come with that! This is the only pair I've owned.
