Staying dry (from the elements) is a lot less important. Once you start moving, the lack of breathability in any waterproof jacket means that you'll be soaking wet from your own sweat.
People over-emphasize the staying dry part, not understanding that the point of staying dry is usually to stay warm. If it's hot outside, staying dry is not that important.
