Look for a good rain suit that is breathable. You should ba able to get one for 100-160 bucks if yu shop around a little. Several of my ASMs got Marmot Precips after thay saw how well mine worked. Helly Hansen and Columbia (the Huntstein) make good suit

Just don't go to an outfitter with the thought you have to ahve a suit today or you will end up spending more than you have to.
It has to fit with room to spare
it should be breathable for comfort
