Live in Oregon and it's getting rainy and cold out, and I don't have any gear for running in the cold or the rain. Does anybody know of any good water repellent pants that are still warm and breatheable? same for a jacket? looking for anything that isn't crazy expensive.
Obviously stuff like Tracksmith and On running clothes are great but so so expensive.
I wouldn't sweat spending a little more for really good quality jacket since they last really long and you will use the hell out of it, and it does make a big difference on a run. I got a Brooks LSD jacket about 6 or 7 years ago, use it all the time, and it makes such a difference. It is so lightweight, you don't know that you have a rain layer on at all. I wouldn;t run in anything else.
As for pants, do you really need them? I would just wear some running pants or tights and they are all that's needed. One pair that is lined for chillier temps, and one not.
Garbage bag with holes cut it for arms/legs, oven mitts for head and hands, Kleenex boxes over feet, etc

I love my On Weather Jacket and bought two of them coz they are totally worth it to me. In addition to quality, they also have slim long arms that I can rarely find in any top clothing in any brand.

Boys, boys - us west coasters, we need to consider that maybe there's worse places to be, so can we just stick together, please? Can we?

Try Smartwool for jackets. Not quite as expensive as Tracksmith but very durable.
For waterproof pants, you can get TSLA thermal windproof pants on Amazon. They’re probably not as breathable as what you’re looking for though.
