I used to commute only by motorcycle, and that included TDY trips in the USAF.
For serious raingear, I used a one piece rainsuit, Totes rubber booties, and the rain mittens that came with the suit. There were times when I would ride all f***ing day in the rain, and that outfit would keep me mostly dry. All the stuff could be folded up into a pretty small package, so I could carry it all the time. The bikes I used back then had windshields or handlebar fairings, and saddlebags, so I had some protection, and space to carry the gear.
These days for boppin' around, I just don't wear anything I wouldn't mind getting wet, and I accept the risk. The motorcycle garb I use now is fairly weather resistant for a short duration. I suppose if I had to go out in the rain, I'd drag out the one-piece outfit mentioned above, which is stored in one of the bags on an FJR-1300.
