I have a Helly Hansen rain jacket for a fraction of the cost. No matter how hard it rains it keeps me dry.

Absolutely

Simms don't have neoprene cuffs. My sleeves are soaked when it rains like this. Other than that, very tough jacket. I have the G4

Neoprene absorbes water and stink.  The Simms cuffs are better than the Bare Kodiak cuffs by a mile.  I've reached down to the armpit to pick up my Leatherman, snagged flies, and if you don't take your time about it, water doesn't get it.

I have two I use , the first is a pioneer cruiser, blanket lined , though it is getting a little snug  second is one my missus picked up for me from Marks  100% wp and breathable. tons of ocket and plenty baggy at the pits. peveral pockets. I took out the liner vest that it came with as I prefer my wooly sweaters in the cold and damp. at a ton and a bit , fair priced.
BTW anyone see pioneer cruisers old style with blanket lining in xxxl I interested. but more for rock hounding.

Call me old fashioned (even though I'm 28 ) but when it rains as hard as it did on Sunday, I'll wear a straight-up rubber rain coat.

You won't regret it.
mko72 has a good point, though. When it is raining like yesterday a rubber rain coat will work as well as anything.

i used Wetskins from Costco rain jacket and pants for under $70.  Works very well for me, keeps me dry.

Same setup here.  Pants and jacket. 

Also like my Helly Hansen but it has no pockets.

I went out picking mushrooms today in my wetskins from Costco and my legs were wet in a couple of hrs. I guess thats why the call them wetskins.

I retired my rubber coat for Gore-tex, I need something that breaths or I will sweat.

i also have a helly hansen rain jacket, great for staying dry, but the lack of pockets and the length makes it hard to use as a wader.
