I guess it depends on what work it is you do. I don't have any experience commuting on a bike but have done a lot of walking in the hills. Personally I hate all that gortex crap as you get just as wet from the sweat plus feeling over heated. We used to take canoe sacks in our bags to keep stuff dry. Its surprising how quickly the body drys out once the rain stops and you swap the wet kit for dry, but if it starts to rain again don't be lazy to swap back into the wet stuff, its cold at first but you soon warm up :)
Anyway I'll be giving it a go this winter so may have a few more ideas more relating to cycling by the spring/summer or whenever the sunshine comes back.
