I have a Showers Pass jacket (https://www.showerspass.com/collecti...nt=27454433477) and a pair of North Face waterproof "shell" pants. I've been in some torrential rains and stayed dry with these. I also wear business casual under them.
I'm particularly fond of the jacket. I've had a few over the years, and this one is the most well-constructed. I also like the color ("Firecracker Red"). I'd recommend that whatever jacket you get have a hood that's thin enough to fit under a helmet. This one does. I also have an O2 "Calhoun" jacket I bought a few years ago (Calhoun Jacket (hi-viz yellow) | O2 Rainwear). It's very nicely made and visible, but does not have a hood. This is OK in the summer when if your neck gets wet and it's warm you may not mind. During the winter I don't want a drop to hit my neck!
