I use bike specific stuff. This morning I cycled my folder to the doctors in a rainstorm wearing a Goretex shell and Endura waterproof trousers. I took it easy so my legs didn't sweat up too much but other than my feet (normal shoes as the Dahon has flat pedals on) I was dry. The shell is like a smock and obviously cycling related (it's bright yellow for a start) but the trousers look ok, just have zips at the bottom and knee patches.
The Gore stuff in particular is expensive, but I have had that shell 20 years, and some of my other stuff 15 or so, so it's economical in the end.
