The marmot precip jacket and pants are perfect. Pants zip from the top
and bottom for easy entry and exit with boots on.

I have a Marmot Precip+ jacket that I wouldn't trade for ANYTHING! I
wore it during the monsoon of our 2004 trek and never, and I mean never,
had any leakage. Super lightweight. Plus, I hiked in it for many hours
and had no overheating or "just as wet inside due to sweat as outside
due to the rain". I loved it so much, I bought the pants recently when
they were on sale and I had my REI dividend to spend. My daughter has a
Marmot Precip jacket as well and she also NEVER had any leakage or sweat
issues. I got hers on sale at Sierra Trading Post for under $50
(although it is lime green, which suits her just fine). Mine is a more
upscale model (and
Precip+ instead of just Precip) that I got on-sale for around $120 at
Precip+ REI
(and again used my dividend). There are few items of my gear that I
unequivocally recommend, but my current raingear is on that list. Like
I tell our Philmont contingent members, the three main items where you
don't want to skimp are: boots, raingear and sleeping bag (in that
order).
Trimming corners elsewhere doesn't seem to bite you as bad. My 2 cents,
your mileage will vary. YIS. Mike Conkey ('76, '02, '04 and '07).

I don't know from Frogg Toggs, except that our Scoutmaster likes his.

Both of my sons now have Marmot Precip jackets I found at off-season
sales at REI's outlet store online (www.reioutlet.com), for, IIRC, $60
each. We added the lightweight, waterproof nylon pants from Campmor for
a full set.
The Precips are great jackets -- and the pants didn't get worn too much
at Philmont , even though we were there last year during the monsoon
season.
The boys said the rain usually came in after they finished hiking for
the day, and if they did get wet on the legs it didn't take long to dry.
I think they only wore the rain pants one day -- but the jackets
frequently.

YMMV.
