Here's a link to a post I made about crash bar bags I made from a set of Rothco canvas military style shoulder bags. I realize that the project is kind of elaborate, but you could skip the whole backboard feature of the bags and just use the velcro straps to strap the bags directly to the crash bars.
The reason I made them was the same as yours: to carry raingear for me and my passenger. The Rothco bags are the perfect size for that.
Do it yourself crashbar bags from Rothco shoulder bags
I always carry two sets of raingear on the bike (I often ride two-up). Since my bike is my main vehicle, I like to keep the panniers empty for things like grocery shopping, so I’ve gotten in the habit of carrying the rain gear in crash bar bags. For the past ten years and over 100,000 miles...

You could have some made by a local awning shop built to your criteria. Pockets and such... or invest in some gear such as Aerostich RoadCrafter, Klim, etc so it is rain gear and regular gear in one.
these are brilliant shame your not over here may ship tho

my objective is to have my rain gear readily available to me
I think Stormwind is an awesome company and great, custom-fit product. The downside is they are not voluminous. So, depends on what "rain gear" is and what you want to stuff in there.
I'm considering:
Wolfman Zip-R-Bags (they also have a rolltop version)
Sedici Dry Bag "Revzilla Exclusive"
Sw-motech Drybag 80 tail bag
Givi GRT722
LoneRider MiniBag 6L
There's a mix of pricing and "waterproofness" in that list. They're in the 5L - 8L range each though some brands have additional sizes.

Gap thanks took a look at all of these - liked the Sedici but the small size seems sold out most of the others don't quite tickle my fancy and the Lone Rider products are way too expensive I'm back at square one. The search continues - Per Rob i do like the Lomo but there sold out on their web site !

Someone posted this found on Amazon for their bars on Facebook. Don't know if they would work for you or not.
