Kenya's rainy seasons make waterproof over-gear a practical necessity for riders who commute daily or tour across the country. Rain gear, overjackets and overtrousers worn on top of your regular riding kit, creates a waterproof outer layer without requiring you to stop and change your full gear. The Bike Yard Kenya stocks compact rain gear that folds down small enough to carry in a saddlebag, plus heavier-duty fully-taped-seam rain suits for sustained riding in the long rains. Brands include Alpinestars, Held and Komine at prices from KES 3,500 for basic oversuit sets to KES 18,000 for premium fully-waterproof touring sets. A good set of rain gear is the difference between arriving dry and arriving cold, hypothermia is a real risk on cold Kenyan highland roads in heavy rain.
