Have you ever tried a set? I have a set of 12 year old Gore-Tex that still keep me dry all day, no matter if I'm sitting or hiking. You have to remember to wash and iron them once in a while to keep them waterproof and breathable (most important aspect IMO).
I'm not a guy that jumps on trends and must have the latest and greatest, but this stuff is well worth the investment.
