That’ll help with your walks and shit. As for pants, same, or Columbia / Kelly Hansen pro gear. That way you can save a bit of money, since the pants isn’t as important as the jacket.

20mins walk, not too far. Just looking for something that can get me to work comfortably through rain and wind without getting absolutely soaked.

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.

Yeah, just daily short commute stuff I'm in the market for. I don't do anything outdoorsy when it rains
