I have a cycling specific rain jacket and rain pants. I mainly wear those in the winter as the outer shell wind blocking layer, and try to avoid riding in heavy rain. (It's a Phantom but I don't see that one here anymore...the current Phantom is not water resistant.) It's gore-tex and I did learn that it looses its water proofness after a couple years but if you toss it in the dryer for a little bit the heat reactivates that.
