Please, take a look at these:

I don't believe that there is something more practical and protective for commuting, rain or not, that textile over-pants with CE protectors for knees and hips and leg-long zippers.
Most come with a universal zipper-to-jacket, vent pockets (for hot days) and water-tight (still breathable) fabric.
I may ride without a jacket, but never without my over-pants.
