I use a bike poncho, it covers the legs, too, and limits sweating because it is open underneath. Decathlon sells them for cheap, and them works. There is also normal colors, but I prefer to be absurdly visible (I want to see who says "I didn’t seen him 🙂)
Every time I use it, I’m amazed I’m dry underneath (the face gets wet).
In any case, even if I don’t wear it, I’m unlikely to get soaked, when rain is not that strong. We are not made of sugar!

Overshoes are great, also to keep the shoes clean!
But at some point during heavy rain, water starts leaking along the legs to the inside of the overshoes.
I always carry a pair of fresh socks with me because of that.
