I've got a kit of IllumiNITE rain gear -- jacket, pants, helmet cover, and shoes covers. All came from Performance Bike about four years ago, and I believe they carried the Performance brand. I can't find them on the Performance web store now, but you might send them a customer service email to inquire. The helmet cover especially was helpful because it is designed to accomodate a visor, which helps divert the rain from your eyes.

Anyway, I wore that kit on a commute from work to home, about 10 miles on steep hills, in between (or so I thought before I started riding) two serious storms with tornados. 1/3 into the commute the sky opened up and several inches of rain dropped in just about 20 minutes. Very heavy rainfall. I arrived home bone-dry (and had a nice tail wind pushing me uphill along the way!).
