having spent days riding in t' rain last year touring the alps, the only thing which is waterproof is a nylon oversuit. My current gear choice is armoured textiles by JTS of coalville...they do almost any size so can get stuff to fit well. Its reasonably waterproof, but in extreme cases , put on the oversuit. That has never leaked.
Boots need regular reproofing to stay waterproof , I had a lovely comfy bullson pair from HG which wore through and finally replaced this year with HG cycko boots...no leaks as yet. Agree with gloves. Current bike has handguards which helps, but really do need to wear surgeons gloves inside to be sure hands stay dry.
