Check the weather via app or just by looking up before you ride , If it rains when you're riding, Stop in a safe location and wear it. Also good to have is shoe cover.

For bad weather riding, a must is to get a helmet that seals properly. Get a helmet with a pinlock, which is just about the only working solution against fogging. If your helmet does not have the pinlock pins, you can get "pinlock" stick ons that works just as good. I have the Soman branded stick ons for I think 30bux on my spare visors that work good.

My old MT Atom leaks and fogs so badly that it is practically unusable in heavy rain. Water drops down from the inside of the visor rendering visibility to almost nothing. To be fair, modular helmets tend to have more issues with sealing...but the MT was bad. Eventually got tired of it and got a proper touring helmet that works properly...I don't get a wet head even with all the vents open on my Rpha 70.

My HJC C70 doesn't come with pinlock , so I just open a bit the visor during thunderstorm/heavy rain. so far so good, no water droplets manage to seep in and i still can see properly.

Benkia or Motoboy are on the low end of cheap padded jacket , i'm using benkia ones for around 2 years. now their internal protection padding starts to spoil(break into half).
