Mopeds in the Rain

Because it's been raining for the past three days in Roma, I've been noticing that the attire changes drastically for moped riders. I saw a man wearing a full on tarp/blanket made out of some sort of water resistant material while I was walking past the gas station near our apartment (Santa Maria in Cappella). I also noticed that many people who are on mopeds in the rain have what looks like a water resistant jumpsuit. It almost resembles a snowsuit that I would wear in the winter, but less bulky. This attire is necessary so that these people don't get soaked while they're riding to work. I'm sure that they have a change of clothes in their bags or in the storage unit that are on some of the mopeds.
