A non-breathable cagoule is another option.

After reading about Brawny's success with non-breathable raingear, I ordered
some Zero Porosity Fabric from Aerodyne Research to sew a cagoule. It should
get here today or tomorrow. I have a cagoule pattern from Rainshed and plan
to modify it by adding pit zips and eliminating the front pocket.

My thinking is that -- with the open bottom and open pit zips -- the cagoule
should ventilate pretty well. With the pit zips closed I can use it to
replace the wind shell that I now carry. The cagoule's longer length should
eliminate the need for rain pants at milder temps.
