+1 for ventile. If Rivendell's offering isn't your thing, I highly
recommend Hilltrek in Scotland. Brilliant stuff that works and is
hearty and withstands deluges, wind, etc. Get their Cotton Analogy for
the most waterproof/breathable option in existence (I've tried nearly
all the concepts out there). I own and love this:

but if you don't need the side zips and extra pockets, then this is
less coinage:

Ventile/Cotton Analogy breathes nearly as well as your cotton shirt
(because it is untreated cotton) but water does not get through. The
liner in the cotton analogy mimics fur, using capillary action to
force any and all moisture away from your body, including sweat (not
just vapor, but liquid). Brilliant stuff!
Ventile is great when it's chilly out. Definitely not for a summer rain
when it's 80 or 90 degrees out, though.
