Polypropylene underwear is very good for this purpose. I used to wear it for white water kayaking.
Synthetic fleece jackets are pretty warm while wet and much lighter than wool. Can't think what it's acrually made from though... I got a free one with a National Geographic subscription.
Main downside I notice compared to wool is that the synthics get kinda gross smelling if you sweat in them.
