Default motorbike waterproof oversuits

as i ride pretty much all the time using my leather kit, im wondering what there is in terms of waterproof oversuits in case of a downpour. Ive ridden in rain before in my leathers but i dont think its ever been prolonged. Any cheap options? (ive spent too much on biking this winter to justify yet another 3 figure sum)

edit - preferably something that packs up small

Lidl special 10 quid and packs up to a decent size (fully waterproof lets say they have been tested by a willing volounteer (richie numbers) on out great april downpour runout.

only problem is they are on a special deal they will appear again but if you need them now hein gerike do a set for 29 quid i think.
