Just go to any local gear shop and get ones that are light weight gore-Tex or equivalent material. Though I will say I am somewhat of a freak in how little I sweat, so your experience might differ from mine. They definitely will not be as breathable as normal pants, but better than being soaked and wet. Helps if you cycle at a more leisurely pace.
Nice. I have trouble not riding fast. It’s too fun. But I do go slower in the rain. I’ll check out some gortex for sure
