Default Rain!

I know this may not be the section to talk about rain gear, but at least we all have M50's in here right?

Man I got caught yesterday in a down pour with just my heavy leather jacket and jeans.

What do you all have, I think all I really need is a one piece suit, but most of the time all I really need is a pants that will fit over my boots up to my waist for those times when the road is wet and the rain is light, ya know what I mean.

All I know is that after a heavy downpour, jeans and socks take all day to dry at work and the expensive heavy jacket also takes all day to dry.

Help, what is a good bear minimum to have that packs light, ie into a back pack.
