Default Spray on water resistance

I'm packing to head out to NM (USA) and watching the weather forecasts. I may get caught in the rain. My 3+ season jacket is an old Alpinestars T-GP Textile Jacket and I have Fly Butane overpants. 10,000+ ft mountain passes in the rain get cold in September/October, and I'm kinda a pussy in my old age.

Any recommendations for spray-on water "proofing" you've found to actually be somewhat effective?

Liberal application of “Camp Dry” has worked for me in the past. I now seek out “Gore-Tex” laminate.
Also, get some seam seal and at the very least do any seams that have pressure put on them. IE crotch area, etc.

I’ve also used “Thompson’s Water Seal” on occasion with decent results.
