+ Both the above.
I have not found any "breathable" rainwear (perhaps they're out there) that will keep me totally dry under exertion. I'll either be wet from sweat or from outside moisture. OTOH, I'm not sure I'd be willing to pay the price for said outergarments anyway. Wet I can handle / cold I cannot.
