I like my Mountain Hardwear Seraction pants for wet weather cycling they are designed for ice climbing so they have a kickpatch right where you would also see your cranks and chainrings and chain so it keeps your pants from getting ruined if they get sucked in. Plus they are decently light and have good air permeability meaning you won't get too sweaty. My MHW Chinley 3L is a good jacket for layering and has pit zips and is comfortable but maybe not the ideal cycling jacket if you want something more form fitting.
I would most certainly second most any Arc'teryx stuff. I have a few of their pieces including one from the A2B line which I love. They make an A2B Commuter Hardshell Jacket which as you might tell is waterproof (Gore-Tex in this case) and has little reflective hits so you can be seen. If I was still working as a dealer I might consider that and maybe a pair of their A2B pants since I have problems finding decent non-waterproof cycling pants.
