Hi mate, for my money you cant beat some of the army surplus gear, i have a goretex dpm rain jacket which i got off ebay for £25. Been out in it alot this week and dry as a bone and also very breathable. You would pay a lot more for something branded with similar properties, Cant help with trousers but would imagine they woyld be just as good as all their gear is fit for for purpose.

Take a look at the thread korda or aqua in the tackle section,carpy09 recommends some for around £40 for jacket and trousers.They might be worth a look
