I can't give direct recommendations because I'm a guy and the jacket and overpants I have are over 20 years old. Still work fine, though.

Do a search on:
foul weather gear women sailing

and you'll turn up plenty of options. You'll probably need to sort some by the weight you're looking for (i.e., for warm weather vs chilly vs cold weather). My stuff's brand is Helly Hansen, but it's not the only good one out there.

Plenty of color options; They're not all "Gorton's fisherman yellow."
