Rain Gear

Noob here. I thought Goretex was the end all be all of rain gear, until I actually did some googling and found that its permeability is closer to saran wrap than it is to modern waterproof hardshell fabrics. I cancelled my Arcteryx Beta LT order and am looking into Neoshell jackets. The Castelli Dolomiti Xlite has waterproof and breathability ratings of 20k and 40k respectively. That sounds too good to be true. Has anyone tried it? What do you wear when it is raining and hot out and does it breathe well? What about pants?
