the squaltex 2 stuff from bass pro is good, wind/water proof its a bit sweaty but it dries out fast and i got the jacket and bibs for about $196 together....
they are cut for FAT people though... the xl jacket fits like a sleeping bag, but the large bibs fit me good im 6'1 230

Dakota stuff from Marks has treated me well, use it for work.
I would try to save up and get a good quality jacket. I prefer my 3 layer gortex jacket by Patagonia (only problem it ain't cheap) it has been a life saver, been caught in some nasty weather and it has kept me warm... it has stood up to the abuse too, have had it for 4 years and has seen many hiking and hunting trips, even use it skiing in the winter sometimes.

Search on line for surplus ECWS or APECS gear. I picked up an APECS Gortex parka for about 80 bucks and a set of pants just over 40 on Ebay. Outstanding value for genuine Gortex, and lots of pockets, which I like. The drawback,....it is NOT quiet.

Could check out Rivers West. They don't breathe all that great but they keep you dry. I've had there pants for a couple years and just ordered one of the jackets that was on sale for $50 Cascade direct has a bunch of there stuff on sale right now

Another vote for Helly Hansen Impertech. I just came back from a north island hunting trip and there were days of absolute torrential rain and I was completely dry. I hiked all day long and yes you do sweat, but on the non rain days I was sweating in light pants and shirt/Stanfield. My partner was wearing higher tech Gortex gear and was soaked.
