hey INW listers --

anyone have the inside skinny on some good weather-fighting garments? it appears that North Carolina will never be anything but rain-soaked and moist. as a local worker who telecommutes on foot (sometime on bike), it sucketh mightily to always spend the day "drying out" while resisting ever going outside the building. thus, i'm looking for some items (specifically pants & shirts) that might stand up better to the elements.

i know REI exists to satiate this desire, but most things i see there are designed for the ultra-fit, 2% body fat rock climber. is there any hope for a "big boned" individual to find some decent pantaloons that keep the wet out? will i be doused forever? style-wise, i'm looking for something like a basic khaki that won't turn into a dark brown, body-clinging mop once its seen a few rain drops.

anyone had any good experiences? seen any good infomercials related to this?
many thanks!
dave m.
