I commute in the rain. My one way is 14 miles. I too have a rain jacket. It isn't Goretex but it works. I tried to put rain-x on my safety glasses but that didn't work! I also have some rain pants if it gets cold. I have had good success finding most of my riding clothes at thrift stores. In the summer, it's easy to find fleece pullovers and wool sweaters. I agree with pinerider when it comes to being seen. I probably look like a moving Christmas tree! I'm used to it. I can tell how afraid the driver is by how far into the other lane goes to pass! Makes me smile.
