My rain outfit is Cabela's Rainy River PacLite suit, presently selling for $99. each - a bargain price.

OK PacLite doesnt' breathe as well as eVent but it DOES breathe far better than the next best truly waterproof laminate, and it's a lot less expensive and very durable.

I Have GTX Merrill Moab Mid boots for the same reason, they keep my feet dry in the rain.

TIPS:
1. wash your (synthetic) pants & shirt with Nikwax DWR or spray them with REVIVEX so they get wet more slowly and dry much faster.
2. Spray Revivex DWR on your Gore-Tex or other W/B gear for max breathability.
