I've never had any issues with my Alpinestars Andes V2 jacket/trouser set. Never got wet in them at all - even in torrential rains.
Same for my Dainese Goretex gloves, & Alpinestars Goretex boots.

And i can now say the same for my Scott DP overproofs too - they are very waterproof, windproof and breathable.
