I was into snow skiing / hiking / backpacking long before I got into bikes. As such, I have always found biking specific brands / items to fall short of what the outdoor industry offers for weather protection. One of my favorites is Outdoor Research. Their stuff is durable and practical for a wide range of activities. Their gloves are amazing but pricey. You might want to take a look at them depending on your budget.

Their Furio jacket is near perfect for foul weather riding.
