Ideal pants for bicycle commuting the rain I commute about 10 miles a day in Portland, OR.  Needless to say rain is a big part of many of my rides.  My current rain pants leave me almost as sweaty as if I had just ridden without the rain gear.  So I'm looking for pants with a hard shell/ gore-tex/ dwr front and soft shell sides and back.  I figure that this combination has to exist out there and that it would help with my moisture transfer issues.  Who makes my Holy grail of rain gear?
Which pants do you have right now? And did you enjoy that downpour yesterday? There wasn't a dry cyclist in the city, breathable pants or not. Some days we're just going to get wet.

Showers pass is made right here in portland, and I use them on all the nasty days, for me they work great http://www.rei.com/product/821425/showers-pass-roadie-event-bike-rain-pants-mens

Arc'teryx, even though I can't pronounce their name, make the top of the line holy grail rain gear. I was just looking at these for myself yesterday: http://www.rei.com/product/836409/arcteryx-micon-insulated-pants-mens
