I bought an entire Gore-Tex two-piece suit from Leading
Edge, a bicycling supplier in Colorado.  It provides
very good rain protection, except for a little blow-by
between the non-full-length Velcro front closure, and
"breathes" so you don't sweat when the sun is out.  It
is cut long in the pant legs and back of the jacket so
it doesn't ride up in a sitting position.  Leading Edge
wants about $180 for both pieces, 10% off for new
customers.  Just don't touch it to the pipes because
the shell is Nylon.  The Teflon microporus inner coating,
which is the real trick of Gore-Tex should help prevent
sticking to skin in the event of an upset but I wear
regular pants and long sleeve shirt underneath anyway.
