I have the same problem. I found local motorcycle shops have large rain gear
(which I bought) but it's made of PVC and on the average non-overweight 
person that will create lots of sweat. (On me it's almost better the get
weat in the rain.) I cut the elastic in the waist and arms and that helps
a very little.  I have a short commute (1.5 miles) that I've been trying
to do DRY and in all weather. I called all the mail order places I could
find and the best I could do was get a pointer to an issue of bicycle from
last year that had an article on large clothing (I'm still trying to find it)
