Hey there, welcome I also live in Oregon (Portland/Damn near Gresham), so I can sympathize.

I got my raingear @ performancebike.com. There are stores in Portland (if you're around this area). They have pretty good deals, and the stores will honor sales posted on their site (but you have to bring a printout of it). I've heard good things about Burley and Gore-tex, but they seem to cost an arm and a leg. Honestly, I just use nanaimo rain pants and a clear rain jacket (performance), and wear layers depending on the temp.

If you have the money to spend, you should probably go with more quality. Me? I'm cheap

see you on the forums
