Lol, it was so bad, even my Gortex gloves got soaked through. It was really THAT bad. Maybe the gloves are dirty and not as effective now, and I have to wash it with Nickwax.
Surprisingly, my 5000mm pants and jacket was still doing alright... But my gloves and boots got soaked through.
Unless you guys are very extreme riders, I don't see much of a point of going all out with the Goretex gear. You'll probably have more fun just planning to go on a drier day. The clothing gets so "heavy" even if the water doesn't soak through.
