My experience is that if you sweat, you don't stay dry, no matter what 
your outerwear is.  Most of the rain in the Northwest is light or misty, 
with periods of heavier showers, but mostly light - just constant.

FOR ME the best option is a silnylon tarp.  I can wrap it close or let 
it billow, depending on wind/rain conditions.  I also use a baggage bag 
from United Airlines and use it as a pack liner.  That way nothing 
inside the pack gets wet.  Of course, day after day in the rain means 
everything gets wet...
