You have the choice between a runny, oily lube that will wash off in the rain or something thick and sticky which will stick more dirt and dust to the chain. Both has its advantages and disadvantages.
exactly, I did the thick grease thing and ironically enough that just made it worse during commuting, wipe with greasy rages is the only maintenance I ever do on my bike (beside putting superglue on what look like are tiny holes but are not on the tyres).
Just get those softshell jacket from Swrve and you're sorted.
