Personally I don't use any rain specific clothing. In warm weather I don't care about getting wet with rain and if I am riding in cold rain I just try to stay warm by wearing insulating layers and a lightweight wind resistant shell only on my upper body. My lower body doesn't seem to get cold as much so I don't overdress below my waist.
is my method also. I don’t do anything extra for rain till it gets under 50*f. Wind proof outer layer below 50. The worst is down near freezing n rain. I still feel the effects of forgetting the barmitts one day last winter on right hand when gloves got wet.
I commute year round from September to june 6days per week. 30miles per day
