If your look at the J&G website, check out the wind pants. Those over a pair of winter tights do a good job for me. A good pair of track pants with some way to keep the cuffs out of the chain work well, also. When it comes to rain, I just give up and plan to get wet, while making sure I stay warm. The tights dry fast because they are on my legs, which generate plenty of heat. A good rain shell over a jersey or polypro longsleeve works well for the upper body. Check out some ski/snowboard gloves if it's very cold, gloves are one of the places that gore-tex and other materials makes the most sense for cycling. Your hands won't get sweaty, and they need to be as dry and warm as possible to remain comfortable. Add a skull cap under the helmet and/or a raincover on top and I'm set for most of the weather here. Near Seattle, so if it's raining it's around 40 F.
