I pretty much stopped bothering about rain gear years ago. I find that when it rains here, it is nearly always fairly muggy as well. Makes it very hot wearing rain gear and as a result you end up looking like you never wore it in the first place. You are soaked in sweat. However, when I did bother with it, I carried a one piece overalls type of rain suit by RIVET. I think I would recommend a two piece for ease and maybe some elasticated cuff plastic/rubber over boots.
What about that good old Aussie Icon, 'Drizabone' in a horsemans long coat. I use one of those on occassion when I'm outside stopping the pool from flooding the house and yard when it comes down in torrential downpours. Keeps me nice and dry when used with some sort of hat. A Sou'wester drizabone would do the job or any old decent fur felt hat with a decent brim.
