And I've just recently purchased overmitts so I'll try them on the next rainy ride.
More specifically ...

-- Helmet cover: http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_d...=1194204223697 ... the bill keeps the rain out of my eyes. I also use it in the winter to help keep my head warm.

-- Rain jacket: They don't sell mine anymore, but this one is probably pretty close: http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_d...=1194204278386 ... My requirements for a rain jacket were simply ... waterproof breathable, long tail in the back, huge pit zips.

-- Booties: I've got two pair. The neoprenes are for colder weather, the nylon ones are for warmer weather and touring.
Nylon: http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_d...=1194204380320
Neoprene: http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_d...=1194204421322

-- Rain pants: I picked them up from a Go Sport in France.

-- Overmitts: http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_d...=1194204515891 ... I haven't tried them yet, so I'm not sure how they'll be.
