I get wet and then change my clothes after I get to work. I hang the wet clothes to dry so they are ready at the end of my work day for a ride home.... I don't believe there is such a thing as 100% waterproof and 100% breatheable at the same time. Even the most expensive gore-tex will get wet if it's out in the heavy rain long enough. Gore-tex is hot and sweaty as hell that's why most gore-tex jackets need long pit-zips for ventalation. It may be ok for walking or hiking but I would never use it for an intense physical activity such as cycling.
