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!

Rain pants and overshoes work really well.
The pants just go over your regular pants and can usually be opened up so they can be put on/off while wearing shoes. And if you layer them correctly (pants over shoes), no water gets inside.
The only major downside is that they can get very warm.
