Need waterproof for cycling, but when that which is best - PVC coated nylon or polyester with 100% PVC? PVC coated nylon is much lighter and easier to store.
Clarification, yes - but not suitable! Flag
recommends either leather of his most difficult to tear and padded water proof
Hmmm ... I would go for polyester, but I do not really know why lol. I think it's just the thought of nylon that can be hot and sweaty in the form of clothing. I assume polyester could breathe easier, while maintaining what is more waterproof.
Lets face - You will not find anything 100% waterproof and convenient for cycling!
Leather?? - Are you having a laugh surely!
PVC type of clothing will be like - "boil-in-the-bag!
Good quality water resistant clothing cycle cost you - check a few sites to see what I mean!
I am resigned to the fact that I'm going to get wet in the rain (as long as I stay warm it tolerable) and I wear or keep spare clothes at work!
I wish you good luck.

I am a touring bike and here the answer you can trust, while PVC and polyester suck. You'll be wetter than riding in them, without rainwear.
The only thing you can count on is really resistant GoreTex. It costs a lot of money, but also a rain jacket is sometimes what can really save my life long distance tours, it is really what I need. So my pants cost about $ 500, which would be quite ridiculous, so I bought it for cycling home-supermarket. My jacket cost more. meditate. for the city or short bike ride is totally not worth it? Well, it's really close to being 100% dry.
On the other hand, I used to bike and generally been profesionally drizzle, we did not wear waterproof boots outside, but when I was training, this jacket breathable nylon AGU sometimes it actually was really good. Nylon itself is crap, but this material has been described as "polyamide coated breathable" (important, because I had a light trousers and nylon has been the biggest shit I never wore, I could not really boil in them). I do not know much about this material, but it really breathe and at the same time I do not soak. I dry all the time. This jacket was not good at all to pay down massive, but if you're used to rain and you know you have a roof over your head at night is a very good thing to have.
I suppose, AGU still made something like that. you can check: http://www.agu.com
