What kind of rain gear do you use?

I have a two piece Fieldsheer suit I bought in 1990' or 91. It doesn't "breathe" at all so when the rain stops it has to come off, at least the jacket or sweat will get you wet instead of rain. It has no issues other that the elastic foot loops to hold the legs down are stretched out. No tears or seam problems ever and it still looks good. In really hard rain storms, eventually water will get in the back of the collar and make its way down my back, but that is usually long after I should have stopped for coffee...
The not breathing part works well for wind protection when the temp takes a dive. I have used it as a winter outer liner with good results. I think I paid about $60. for the suit 20 years ago. All of which means nothing now, does it? Oh well, you asked.
