Try your local cycle shop, they usually have lightweight 'proofs' that roll up small for carrying, you might even get them in Halfords if there is one close by.0

I was in a similar situation looking for some fishing trousers so I bought a new unissued pair of army trousers off ebay ( £5 ) and a can of W5 fabric waterproofing spray from Lidl ( £1.99 ) and gave the trousers a couple of coats of the spray , now the water rolls off and I stay dry and as they are cotton they are breathable too.
Not too sure how long the spray lasts though as I haven't been fishing in them yet but I used to do the same with an old coat and fabsil spray and as long as it didn't get too dirty I was able to leave it in the shed and wear it a few times before it needed washing.0 -
I got some for myself and the children in the coffee shop Tchibo. They only have them at certain times, but worth a look if you have one nearby as they were very reasonable.0

Try searching for "Regatta Packaway" to find a neat jack and over-trousers, sold separately, each in it's own drawstring bag. We bought our sets in 2005 and they're still going strong.
We take our sets with us all the time - mine have even been used in the foulest weather at Cairngorm. Breathable, light, cheap - they're ideal! Here are some examples:
