I have a showers pass elite 2.0 jacket and it works great. Keeps out the rain and wind and at the same time breathes well. One day it was cold (but not raining) and I wore my old jacket (performance century II) and swore I never would again. With the old jacket on, I ended up soaked with sweat because it didn't breathe. eVent is the ticket (that's what the elite 2.0 is made from).

I also have the rain pants from showers pass but haven't used them yet (my commute is only 25 minutes so it would need to be a pretty cold rain -- like near freezing -- to want to have pants on... cause I'd get hot).

That being said, in the summer, you're not gonna want to wear any rain gear or you'll be miserably hot. Rain gear is ok during the other 3 seasons but not summer.
