For working outdoors all day in actual rain it’s army surplus goretex or gtfo. A mate had one that was almost floor length which was great for dragging branches or other soggy materials as wet thighs is the worst.
The naval stuff tends to be a smart blue or grey colour if you want to avoid the rural serial killer look.
I once had a classic bright yellow fisherman’s smock which was 100% waterproof but you ended up just as soggy from sweat.
At least with goretex you can still function.
