I do have rain tights with articulated knees as well ... something very much like these, or perhaps these are the ones:
https://www.mec.ca/en/product/5033-251/Adanac-Tights I picked them up on sale for about $60 and love them.


I also have mudguards, helmet cover, and good quality rain gloves I picked up on sale for only about $50. Oh and several options for keeping my feet warm. They'll never be completely dry in rain but at least they'll be relatively warm.

With as much rain riding as we do it is all worth it.
I paid $10 for a nice Hyvent Northface with lots of pocket two weeks ago in the thrift. Of course it's a large, and I need a medium but it works.
I have an Outdoor Research Furio for rain riding.
