Paul,

Don't know if you or any others have tried this, but I used The North Face snowboarding pants and jacket this fall in cold, wet conditions. They kept me dry, though the jacket is older and held water, it still didn't leak through to my under layers. The pants are around $120 and they were completely waterproof. I know this isn't ideal gear for the summer months but it worked well for me this fall.
