I've heard on forums that those rain legs are useful for a mile or two in light to medium rain. So good for in town short hops and are low bulk when off.
I ride in the rain but not usually on my pedelec! The pedelec is an anti sweat device, but in a waterproof i'm just going to sweat anyway.
That said when its cold enough for me not to sweat, sometimes i cycle in normal clothes top half + waterproof and shorts and trainers bottom half. Then change into trousers and workshoes at work.
PS to keep rain out of eyes. I just wear cycling visor style shades and keep them clean. A cycling peaked cap helps as well.
You do see city uber cool types in antique flying goggles. In the winter when it gets very cold, i've used ski goggles before. I suspect that horrible looking helmet visor works quite well.
