Re: drying out leathers
Hang the kit up and let it dry naturally. Shove some scrunched up newspaper down the arms an legs to absorb some of the moisture.
Then invistigate some sort of waterproofing and conditioning product for leathers. I swear by Nikwax products for my textiles.

Better still, wait until it stops raining and go for another ride.
