Good idea on getting the fenders.

Rain jacket... seems to me your choice is water proof or water resistant.

Water resistant is only good for so long, or until it rains so hard.

Water proof gives you the choice of being soaked from sweat rather than rain, which I much prefer when it is cold. When it's warm, I just get rained on. I don't mind.

You can get a $10 rain suit like I have. Not breathable, however.

I don't know if you'll be able to get breathable, lightweight and less than $80.
