Are you looking for a waterproof 'working outdoors' setup or just something more water resistant for a short commute?

For the former, gortex and waterproof shells. For the later, nylon/polyester cotton blend with DWR finish might work ok. Nyco or poly cotton blended fabrics dry faster than 100% cotton, and don't stick to your skin when wet like 100% synthetics.

Hiking pant tech and fabrics have started to move down into day to day clothing wear. If you're just wearing them for commuting and are changing at work, hiking/trail pants could be an option. If you're wearing them all day there are some that don't look like you just came off of the Grouse Grind.
