Why not invest in some waterproof boots and gloves?
I have invested... I'm interested in new and better suggestions, but I'm working with a raincoat, rain pants, waterproof boots, etc. Is anything really waterproof when you're out for five or six hours?

This is important because most bacteria that cause gnarly body odor need that liquid perspiration on your skin in order to grow. Thus you smell better in wool. Perhaps even causing you to need less showers. (I know, I'm a dirty hippy...I ride a bike...), wool also has the benefit of keeping you warm even when it's soaking wet. The key is to maintain a thermal layer (a pocket of air) that never exchanges with cold outside air. For gloves my Pearl Izumi Lobster Claws work really well and have been as waterproof as anything I've ever owned. I've been very impressed, but they ain't cheap.
