First Commute in the Rain.... Need Rain Gear

I need rain gear lol. Left the house at 430 am it was about 50 and light sprinkle by the time I got to work it was a steady rain(remnants of Lee). I rode fast enough to keep warm however that same speed left me soaked.

I wore a pair of wind pants, long underwear compression shorts and running shorts on bottom with smart wool socks and my sneakers. I wore a coldgear underarmour longsleve thermal tee and a tshirt on top. I was wet but warm. However I would prefer to be warm and dry in these conditons.

I have read some good things about the Pearl Iziumi Amfibs was wondering if any Clydes have any expierence with them. I also found out what the rain booties are all about as well. I will be picking up some of them as well. I live in southern Upstate NY and as of Friday I am car-less and intend on riding as much as I can through the winter and making use of public transporatation as much as possible when I cant ride. My commute is 4.5 miles one way.
