My experience is that all the 'breathable' stuff I ever tried is just not water tight. My showers pass jacket has nice vents that breathe and don't let light rain in. I have to admit too, when I am commuting, I am not killing myself in terms of effort. I usually go fast enough to be comfortably warm but not so fast that I start sweating profusely.
I have to say, I have enjoyed working from home last winter. Looks like it may be back on the road this winter soon!
