It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

What gear and what PEV do you use in the rain?

Rainy season just started hitting here in Portland and I'm riding a G2 ninebot because I'm not comfortable with the water proofing on the S18 monowheel

Breathable waterproof shell from outdoor gear companies (Gore-Tex or similar), including both a jacket and pants. Waterproof shoes from Vessi or similar. Water proof or resistant cycling gloves.

Everything should be waterproof except your face. Haven’t found a good solution for that yet but it doesn’t bother me too much.

Most bikes do fine in rain but fenders are highly recommended so you don’t get covered in grime.
