Recomendations on good work rain gear?
I don't want to tear my good stuff up, and I havn't found any good local shops where I can actually see/touch what is out there, I'm looking for something along the lines of #5 on this page and a pair of good pants, all I fine at home dummy is PVC, and I don't want to hang out in a pipe all day when I gotta work in the rain
 something breathable would be nice  Does anyone have products that you use or know of? Something that is durable?

I use Helly Hanson all of the time and it is very good gear. I don't think you will find much better. Just my thought.

Don't overlook boating/sailing gear from a ship chandlery, boat shop, whatever. This stuff has been really tested and the boating fraternity are very choosy.

Tractor Supply has a good line to look at and touch. A lot of Gore-tec thinsulation, good wearing, tough, machine washable, reasonably waterproof, etc Oh yea, and kinda cheap.

Carhartt overalls (Insulated good for cold weather but cost more), spray with silicone waterproofing spray, especially the butt area, you'll stay warm and dry!

Earl- Thanks for the confirmation!
Trevor- Links to look at! Thanks, I'll poke arround, I looked at WestMarine.com, and there is a local store...er...an hour? away, near the BMW Motorcycle dealership Jerry- My last cheap suit is keeping the water out of my old Ford 2N engine I want something that won't rip and soak me on the first day, I do prety much whatever I want, and I'll pay for it! I do whatever comes up, last week a friend wanted some help cleaning out a back yard, so I took the tractor over there for a couple days, and got drenched in a constant mild rain  I also do a bit of powerwashing with my "little" 24hp hotsey and whatever else I can fit in, I want to quit, but people keep offering me money to do stuff  and living in the country means a bit of work and ditch cleaning in the rain to make sure the water goes where it should, collect firewood, of just get outside, january is usually wet here and I'm here almost 24/7, so I get bored  Rebecca- At first I thought it was a trash bag, but then I realized it was an All Wheel Drive trash bag
