URGH, Jesus! I am at work too! :lol :lol
Not commuted on bike in pi55ing down rain, BUT, about 18 years ago when I rode in all weathers to college as a teen, I used a Belstaff oversuit and that did keep me dry.
I think it came 2nd hand from a friend, only died when a Sierra failed to stop at a roundabout for me and me and my RD125LC got broken.
Have a £35 Alpinestars top (not got round to the matching trousers yet) which keeps my top half dry.
My Frank thomas textiles seem to be perfectly showerproof too, have only done about 10-20 miles tops in the rain.
I'd get some 2nd hand ones with a double zip jacket and the folding crotch section which doubles up and invest in some aerosol waterproof spray or a large candle to rub over it all.
