My usual cordura riding gear is waterproof to about 98%, but because it gets so waterlogged in the real wet stuff it takes forever to dry, I choose to run proper wets overtop when I'm expecting big weather. In "it might rain" weather the cordura is fine. I have 100% waterproof pants, I forget the brand, that I bought a couple years back that just that - waterproof pants. Under $100 from memory. No lining, no armour and fit over top of the cordura pants. I have just bought an RJays waterproof jacket to go over the cordura jacket. $54. Works a treat. They had pants too but I didn't need so didn't price sorry. I have Dri-Rider gloves for winter which give crap feel and make riding like an idiot really hard, but so long as you put your jacket wrist over rather than under them, they're warm and waterproof.
I can't say the same for my boots, but I think they just need a clean and re-spray with waterproof stuff.
